Utility meters collect your site’s utility data and overall performance for your energy, water, and waste data over time. By adding information to each utility meter’s details, you can provide key information that gives you a more holistic picture of your utility data.
Meter details other than the utility data itself enable you to track meter activation dates (start and end dates), meter name, meter type, meter currency and units, whether it’s paid by the landlord or tenant, and which area (space) the meter is serving.
This guide will tell you how to edit and view your meter activation dates and how Measurabl handles meter activation data for your portfolio!
HOW TO TRACK METER ACTIVATION DATES
Meter activation dates (commonly known as start and end dates) show the date the meter first became active and the date that the meter became inactive (if applicable). You likely have meters that are still active, in which case is also indicated in the meter details on your site, along with its activation date.
Follow these instructions to view or edit or meter activation dates:
Navigate to your site
Go to the ‘Utilities’ tab
Select the meter you want to edit or view Support Team!
If your meter is active, there will be a green toggle set to “YES”
*To set the meter as ‘inactive’, select the toggle to “NO”. This will prompt you to add a Deactivation Date.
Below, under ‘Activation Date’, the date of activation will appear.
*The first meter reading will automatically be set as the meter activation date. If you want to change this, uncheck the checkbox and you can change the meter activation date.
Save any changes by clicking ‘Save’ on the top-right of the inspector
FAQ’s
Can I edit meter activation dates for Utility Sync meters?
No, you cannot edit meter activation dates for Utility Sync meters - these are automated. You can reach out to our Support Team if you believe your Utility Sync meter dates need to be adjusted.
Can I edit meter activation dates for ENERGY STAR sourced meters?
Yes. You can edit meter activation dates or meter activation status on ENERGY STAR meters as long as it’s shared with Measurabl with Full Access. Access this guide for more information on sharing meters with ENERGY STAR.
Are there any restrictions on changing the meter activation date?
You may not add an activation date that is after the date of the meter’s first meter reading. It must be before that.
How does the meter activation data affect my portfolio?
Activation dates allow Measurabl to detect whether an absence of data is a gap that requires resolution or is simply outside of the active periods for that meter.
How does Measurabl handle meter activation data?
We store this information to determine data gaps for your meters
The activation date is the date that the meter was “turned on” and when the meter reading data should start flowing at the site
Deactivation date is the date that the meter was “turned off” and when there should be no more meter readings at the site
We do not allow entering or syncing of meter data outside of that meter’s activation period
We offer an option to set the activation date of a meter based on the date of the meter’s earliest reading so that you do not have to manually enter the activation date.
If you have any questions about meter activation dates, please do not hesitate to reach out to our

To ensure that your property information and meters updated within Measurabl are pushed to ENERGY STAR, be sure that your site and meters are shared with "Full Access" permissions from your ENERGY STAR account.
Note that your meters that are pushing to ENERGY STAR are marked with "Synced", where those that are not pushing to ENERGY STAR are marked as "Not Synced".
You may refer to this guide as a reference to which items CAN be pushed to ENERGY STAR.
There are certain circumstances where a meter isNOT eligible to be pushed into ENERGY STAR from Measurabl. Ineligibility is primarily due to meter and unit type restrictions (there are some meters and unit types that Measurabl supports that are not supported in ENERGY STAR).
If a meter falls under any of the ineligible categories, then the meter will be created and visible within Measurabl, but will not push into the site in ENERGY STAR. You may refer to the lists below which outline the ineligible meter types and unit combinations.

View ArticleMeasurabl allows users to assign energy and water meters to individual spaces within sites. This feature helps you learn which spaces are driving overall site energy and water performance.
This article is divided into five sections, so feel free to scroll down to the section that best answers your question.
How do I assign meters within the app?
What options do I have for assigning meters?
How are meters imported from ENERGY STAR assigned to spaces?
What happens to meter assignments when a space is deleted?
How does syncing my space data with ENERGY STAR affect meter assignments?
How do I assign meters within the app?
From the landing page, head to the “Sites” tab, then choose the site where you’d like to assign meters to spaces. From there, select the “Utilities” tab and find the meter you want to assign.
In the resulting window, find the “Serving” dropdown menu on the bottom-left: there you’ll be able to assign the meter to a specific space. Once you’re done, click “Save”.

You can also assign multiple meters to a space at once from the Utilities page:
We’ll soon be adding metrics that capture the energy/water usage of each of your spaces, based on the meters you’ve assigned to them. Our regular emails will keep you posted as we get nearer to releasing those metrics.
What options do I have for assigning meters?
We’ve created some ground rules for where users can assign meters, based on how many leasable/common spaces the site has. The biggest one? One umbrella category (Electric, District, Fuel) cannot have some meters assigned to whole site and some meters assigned to an individual space. Meters within a category must be assigned EITHER to the whole site and exterior areas OR to individual spaces and exterior areas. This rule prevents double counting of consumption when calculating a site's performance metrics.
Other rules include: if a site only has one space, meters can only be assigned to that individual space, not the whole site. Users cannot assign meters to common area on sites that they do not own, they may only assign meters to their leased spaces.

How are meters imported from ENERGY STAR assigned to spaces?
All meters that are imported from ENERGY STAR are automatically assigned to “Whole Site” unless: 1) The site has just one space, in which case the meters are assigned to that space, or 2) the site in Measurabl contains meters assigned to common space, in which case the imported meters are assigned as serving the largest common space. After the meters are imported, you can make any needed changes to their assignments.
What happens to meter assignments when a space is deleted?
When a meter is assigned to a space, and that space is deleted, the meter becomes “Unassigned.” You can then assign it to any remaining space on the site.
How are my meter assignments affected by syncing my space data with ENERGY STAR?
As discussed, you can make changes to your space data directly in Measurabl, unsyncing that space data with ENERGY STAR. If you later resync your space data with ENERGY STAR, any meters that are assigned to spaces that exist in ENERGY STAR will stay assigned to those spaces.
For example, let’s say you have a site in ENERGY STAR that has Spaces 1, 2, and 3. You make edits to those spaces and add a few new ones directly in Measurabl, with none of those changes reflected in ENERGY STAR. You then assign meters A and B to spaces 1 and 2. You later resync the site’s space data with ENERGY STAR. Even with the changes to your space data made by the resync, meters A and B will remain assigned to Spaces 1 and 2.
Make sense? No? Here’s what we mean:

View ArticleMeasurabl's intuitive platform makes adding manual meter data simple, whether you're adding data to individual meters in the app or pushing larger amounts of data via spreadsheet upload.
How to add meter data in bulk to manual sites
You can push meter data to manual sites in bulk through our bulk upload template. You'll use the same file used to add sites in bulk.
First, you'll download that spreadsheet. Then, you'll fill out the columns with green headers in the "Submission Form - Buildings" tab. Simply download the "Sites" tab (click the download icon right next to the green "Add Bulk Sites" icon), thencopy and paste the information from there into the Bulk Sites template so there are no errors. If you're pushing data in bulk for sites outside the U.S. and Canada, talk to our support team to make sure this process will work for all of your sites.
Once you do that, you can fill out the "Submission Form - Meters" tab to note any meters and usage you want to add in bulk. If you're adding multiple bills for each meter, you'll simply repeat the site name, meter name, and meter type for each row of usage you'd like to add to that meter.
Once you've added that information, upload the bulk sites template, and your meter data will be posted within three days!
NOTE: If you're a site manager who needs to upload data in bulk, reach out to our support team for the latest version of the template. Once filled with your meter data, please send the spreadsheet back to [email protected] and we'll help get that data uploaded for you!

Questions? Contact our support team.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What if I'm trying to add readings to an existing meter, but the units are different?
Each meter can only support one type of unit (if a meter has always read CCF, you must enter any new reading in CCF). To add new meter data under a new unit going forward, you can create a new meter, and specify the new units under the "Unit" dropdown menu.
If you want to switch the meter, including its historical data, over to the new unit, you'll want to download the meter's historical data (via the Data Quality Report ), convert its consumption over to the new unit, post a new meter with the new unit, push the converted historical consumption to the new meter, then delete the old meter.
I accidentally entered the wrong data for a previous reading, how can I correct this?
Simply navigate to and click the desired reading, and you can make your edits. Don't forget to save!
How do I know if my meter(s) is active or inactive?
Measurabl allows you to track meter activation dates within Measurabl for all meter types and utility types. For more information, navigate to.
View ArticleYes! Within a portfolio, you can set up as many subgroups as you want.
invite any of the other portfolio members
Why create subgroups?
By creating subgroups, you can segment your portfolio by fund, location, property type, size, asset value, management, or any other characteristic you find useful.
Once you create a subgroup, you’ll be able to access performance metrics and data exports specific to the sites in that subgroup. You can grant individuals “subgroup member” access so that they can see and edit all sites within a subgroup, but not any other sites in your portfolio. You can also report individual subgroups to third-party assessments (like GRESB and CDP).
Can a single site be part of more than one subgroup?
Yes. Note that each site has one record in our app, so any changes you make to a site will be visible within the overall portfolio and within all of the subgroups where the site has been added.
User permissions
The manager of a portfolio is automatically the manager of any subgroups created under that portfolio.
So if Jane Smith is the portfolio manager, and Pete Summers is a portfolio member who creates a subgroup within that portfolio, Jane Smith is the subgroup manager, and Pete Summers is a subgroup member.
When Pete Summers creates the subgroup, he is the only subgroup member, so he’ll need to who should have access to the subgroup.
As long as a user is a member of the portfolio AND the subgroup, he or she can manage the subgroup's site assignments, rename, and delete the subgroup. Subgroup members who are not portfolio members can not.
Portfolio vs. Subgroup Functionality
The following functions are available at the portfolio level but not subgroup level:
-Adding site managers
-Accessing Utility Sync
-Linking Energy Star account(s)
-Accessing bulk upload template
If you’d like to perform any of the above actions for any sites within a subgroup, please navigate out of the subgroup and perform at portfolio level.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What if my siteis still under initial construction?
No problem!Input the start date for initial construction and simply leave the end date blank, then click "Save". The site will be tagged as "Under Initial Construction" on your site's dashboard. If you haven't already uploaded this siteinto Measurabl, you canadd sites manually and repeat the same process.
What if my siteisn't operational, but is under major renovation?
Input the start date for the major renovation and leave the end date blank, then click "Save". The site will be tagged as "Under Major Renovation" on your site's dashboard.
What's the difference between initial construction and major renovation?
Major renovation includes renewals or restorations to an already existing site, while initial construction refers to the development of a site that was previously nonexistent. In either case, you may leave the end date of the event blank to indicate that construction is ongoing; this will be reflected on that site's dashboard.
Do I have to add all lifecycle events for my site?
No, you can add as much or as little as you would like. For GRESB reporters, make sure to add events that affect the reporting period.

View ArticleMaintaining accurate space data within your sites helps tell the story of your sites’ sustainability performance. Knowing that an office has a data center and a large restaurant may explain why its energy use intensity is higher than a nearby office without those two spaces.
Regularly updating space data is especially important for sites with multiple uses or regular tenant turnover.
You can make changes to spaces within Measurabl directly or within ENERGY STAR.
ENERGY STAR
Right now, space data can be pushed from ENERGY STAR to Measurabl, but not from Measurabl to ENERGY STAR. So if you want your space data updates to appear in ENERGY STAR, it’s most efficient to make those changes directly in ENERGY STAR. Measurabl will then pull in your changes automatically. This article provides guidance on this option.
Measurabl
If you’d prefer to make changes to spaces directly in Measurabl, and you don’t need those changes made in ENERGY STAR, you can do so in the Spaces tab in the Site Profile window. First, click "Edit" next to the site name on the "Site Overview" tab.
In the Spaces tab you can add and remove spaces, change their type, and edit their floor area. You can also track leasable spaces and common spaces separately.
When making changes to spaces imported from ENERGY STAR, you’ll stop that site’s space data from syncing with ENERGY STAR (syncing of all other site and utility data for your sites will continue uninterrupted). This break prevents the changes you’re making from being automatically overwritten with the values in ENERGY STAR.
At any time after making those changes, you can resync your site’s space data with ENERGY STAR. Before doing so, it’s best to make sure that any necessary changes were also made in ENERGY STAR.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will changing my preferred currency retroactively convert my spend metrics to the new currency I've selected?
A: Yes, however, you will receive the following alert if you attempt to enter new readings into the same meters:
A: If you do receive this alert, a new meter must be created and previous readings must be converted manually to the preferred currency. You can do this by exporting the historical meter readings, converting the currency, and sending an email to .
Q: Do my units of measure change everywhere in the app when I update my preferences?
A: No. Changing the units of measure in your preferences will change the units you see in the Portfolio Trends tab and in the exportable files you can download in the Reports tab. However, when you open a meter, you will still see usage in the original unit used for that meter, regardless of what you set as your unit of measure in your preferences.
As indicated above, the unit of spend does change to reflect your preferences, even when viewing an individual meter.

Enter your site's leasable spaces:
Within the top table in the "Spaces" tab you can designate the spaces within your site that can be leased to tenants. You can add as many spaces as needed. The total "Gross Leasable Area" will sum the floor area of each of the leasable spaces you've added.
Set Occupancy Rates:
The more frequently you track changes in occupancy within the "Control" tab the better, soupdate your site's occupancy rate in Measurabl each time it changes.
Initially, we recommend entering 2rates - one average occupancy rate for each of the last two years. Having occupancy figures available for the past two years is key for third-party reporting.
From there, we recommend adding a new occupancy rate any time a new tenant moves in or an existing tenant moves out.

View ArticleIn a nutshell, carbon emissions, also known as greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), are gases released by the burning of fossil fuels that trap heat in the atmosphere. For more detailed information on how Measurabl calculates carbon emissions, see the overview below and the attached methodology (link to download is at the bottom of the screen).
Since there are many different kinds of carbon emissions, with carbon dioxide (CO2) being the most common, total emission volume is typically measured in units of CO2-equivalent (such as metric tons). Measurabl uses this unit when displaying emissions totals.
Measurabl calculates carbon emissions based on the data you provide us regarding site utility consumption, transportation, and tenant utility consumption. They are displayed in reports as outlined in this article.
Carbon emissions are typically divided into three categories called scopes:
Scope 1 emissions are emissions from fuels that are burned onsite, such as natural gas or fuel oil. Measurabl calculates scope 1 emissions based on energy usage data entered under the “Fuel” category, which includes Natural Gas, Diesel, Fuel Oils #2, #5, and #6, Propane, Compressed Natural Gas, Biodiesel (B100 and B20), and Renewable Diesel.
Scope 2 emissions are emissions from fuels that are burned offsite to deliver energy to your building, mainly emissions from electricity use.Measurabl calculates scope 2 emissions as a sum of emissions from energy usage entered under the “Electric” and “District” categories.
Scope 3 emissions are other emissions your organization generates indirectly, such as emissions from tenants, transportation, waste generation and disposal, supply chain, and purchased products. Measurabl calculates scope 3 emissions as the emissions coming from energy use on meters that are marked as "Paid by Tenant."

View ArticleGRESB’s 2020 Real Estate Assessment Pre-Release is now available! This guide will review GRESB’s pre-release of the survey, including the GRESB 2020 Reporting Timeline, High-Level (structural) changes of the assessment, Component-Level changes, and Indicator-Level changes.
**Note that these updates are subject to change. Expect updates to this article in the future, and be sure to use the finalized 2020 survey and asset-level export once released in April by GRESB.
GRESB 2020 Reporting Timeline
March 2020: Release of Real Estate and Infrastructure, Reference Guide and Resilience Module
April 1, 2020: GRESB Real Estate assessment opens in GRESB portal
July 1, 2020: Survey submission deadline
September 1, 2020: Review Period will start and Launch of Preliminary Benchmark Reports
October 1, 2020: Final results will be released to participants and investors
You may access the full GRESB Real Estate Assessment 2020 Timeline here. We’ll release the survey in Measurabl shortly after GRESB opens the assessment portal (after April 1st).
Here's our interpretation of the 2020 pre-release! We recommend that individuals reporting should still review these changes themselves prior to reporting. The full list of changes can be found here. Feel free to reach out or comment below if you have any questions regarding the changes to the GRESB 2020 Real Estate Assessment.
High-Level Changes
The survey development process for this year’s Real Estate Assessment resulted in many structural changes in the survey. GRESB’s rationale for these changes can be found in the full Pre-Release. GRESB 2020 will be comprised of Management, Performance, and Development components, so the order of indicators will shift around but the majority of the survey will not have material content changes. We will summarize these changes below.
This year, GRESB has also implemented a review period which will begin on September 2 when all preliminary individual GRESB results will be available to participants. During this period, participants will be able to submit a review request to GRESB using a dedicated form. The final results will be released after the review period, on October 1.
The following performance indicators are mandatory for data collection at the asset-level in 2020: Energy, Water, GHG Emissions, and Waste.
Efficiency Measures [Projects], Technical Assessments [Audits], Ratings, and Certifications will be reportable on the asset-level via the asset-level spreadsheet, but Measurabl has not yet received confirmation from GRESB that asset-level reporting is mandatory for those elements.
Measurabl has not received confirmation from GRESB if they will be mandatory on the asset-level yet.
Remember, if you’re using Measurabl your projects, audits, certifications, and ratings are already being tracked at the asset-level! The complete list of 2020 Asset-Level export changes can be found here, and you may download the pre-release of the spreadsheet on this export.
GRESB has eliminated the concept of “Managed” and “Indirectly Managed” assets. The concept has been replaced with “Landlord Controlled” and “Tenant Controlled” areas. This method is applied at the Space-level rather than the asset-level. Therefore, an asset can include both Landlord and Tenant Controlled areas.
Component-Level Changes
The 2020 Assessment introduces 3 main components: Management, Performance, and Development.
Management Component
The management component is comprised of 30 indicators structured in 5 aspects:
Leadership (LE)
Policies (PO)
Reporting (RP)
Risk Management (RM)
Stakeholder Engagement (SE; the portion of 2019 stakeholder engagement now under Management).
Performance Component
The performance component is comprised of 10 aspects:
R: Reporting Characteristics
Risk Assessment (RA)
Energy (E) - Asset-level
GHG Emissions (G) - Asset-level
Water (WT) - Asset level
Waste WS) - Asset level
Data Monitoring and Review (DMR)
Targets (T)
Building Certifications (Asset-level)
Efficiency Measures (Asset-level)
Tenants and Community (TC)
The Performance component measures the entity’s asset portfolio performance, consisting of information collected at the asset and the portfolio level. It is suitable for any company or fund with operational assets.
Development Component
The old ‘New Construction Major Renovation (NC)’ section is now Development!
The development component is comprised of 7 aspects:
Reporting Characteristics (DR)
ESG Requirements (DRE)
Materials and Certifications (DMA)
Building Certifications (DBC)
Energy (DEN)
Water Conservation (DWT)
Waste Management (DWS)
Stakeholder Engagement (DSE)
The Development component measures the entity’s efforts to address ESG-issues during the design, construction, and renovation of the buildings. This component is suitable for entities involved: in new construction and/or major renovation projects, or with on-going or completed projects during the reporting period.
Indicator-Level Changes
The indicator-level changes and comments for the GRESB 2020 Real Estate Assessment can be found by downloading the document below.

Peer Benchmark
Trends Report
Available metrics include total energy/water usage, energy/water use intensity, energy/water cost, energy/water cost intensity, emissions, emissions intensity, ENERGY STAR 1-100 score, Peer Benchmark, and more.
The metrics and timeframes displayed will depend on the options you choose in the dropdown menus at the top of the page (above the graph). For example, when you choose “All Energy Usage” the default metrics listed are total energy usage and total energy use intensity (energy use per square foot) for the two annual periods chosen at the top of the page, plus the percentage change between the two years.
You can add/remove columns from the table by clicking the "Columns" icon and checking/unchecking the various fields until you’ve included those metrics you want to review, then download to csv.
Data Quality Report
The Data Quality Report offers a very detailed view of your data by site. It includes all basic data on your sites and meters, annual total energy/water use and cost, fuel-specific annual use and cost, GHG emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2, and Tenant Scope 3),, and annual/monthly usage totals for each meter. The report also shows you the \% change in annual use/cost between the two years you’re evaluating, which can help you flag potential data quality issues.
To download the report, go to the "Reports" tab as shown below.
Sites Report
If you click on the "Sites" tab, you’ll see a table listing out basic information for all sites, including site name, location, type, floor area, and status of each site’s data syncing. You can click the "Columns" icon to customize which fields appear in the table. You can download the table to a csv file there, as well as in the "Reports" tab.

Yes, all portfolio assets should be included in your report. The new construction module allows further detailing of new construction and major renovation activities. Further, buildings under construction or renovation will not be included in like-for-like comparisons but will accrue to absolute performance.
Set the life-cycle stage on your site so it will be rolled up correctly for the final portfolio-level report.
We bought and sold assets this year. How do I note that correctly?
Add bought and sold dates directly to sites in Measurabl; learn how to mark them properly here.
What is the difference between like-for-like and absolute performance?
Absolute performance is a stand-alone measurement of total consumption and output across performance indicators for your reporting entity. Like-for-like excludes sites that have changed ownership or have incomplete data during the reporting period. More on like-for-like here.
How do I mark a site as "Tenant Controlled" (previously indirectly managed)?
1. Go to the Sites page and click on the site.
2. Click the Edit icon next to the site name.
here
3. Click on the Control tab. Mark "\% Gross Leasable Area" = 100 and "Tenancy" = Single Tenant
4. Click save!
The site is marked tenant-controlled.

View ArticleMeasurabl's Peer Benchmark allows you to measure your real estate portfolio and individual buildings' performance against others within our database. This helps you get an idea of how well your sites are performing in relation to their peers. Follow the guide below to learn how it works!
How is my Peer Benchmark calculated?
Measurabl compares your sites against all of the sites in our database, then applies weighting to the site to calculate a score based on different factors.
Therefore, the peer group cohort is ALL buildings within Measurabl, and the model used for scoring the building is heavily weighted by the below factors:
Size
Property Type
Age (Year Built)
Weather
The benchmark represents the percentage of peers your site outperforms. For example, a site with a score of "75" is more efficient than 75\% of sites like itthat is, in the top 25\%.
Where can I find my Peer Benchmark on the portfolio-level?
As a portfolio manager or member, you may track your portfolio's peer benchmark. This provides a high-level view of how all of the sites in your portfolio are performing against those within our database, then rolled up together to give the portfolio a score. To access the portfolio Peer Benchmark, navigate to your 'Portfolio Overview' tab and view the Peer Benchmark card. You can scroll within the card to view each use type's Peer Benchmark (electric, fuel, water, waste).
Contact our support team
Where can I find my Peer Benchmark on the site-level?
To find your site's Peer Benchmark, navigate to the site. Go to the 'Site Overview' tab, then next to the site's name, you will see the Peer Benchmark score in the green circle. If your site is synced with ENERGY STAR, you will see the ENERGY STAR score in the blue circle next to it. If you do not see a score there, but think your site should have a Peer Benchmark score, refer below.
What is being compared to get to a score?
Expected Usage: Our model looks at a site’s characteristics (per above) and tells us an expected usage.
We then compare the actual building metrics to the expected usage, and the score comes out as follows:
If actual and expected are equal, you earn a 50\%
If actual is better than expected, you earn above 50\% (above average)
If actual is worse than expected, you earn below 50\% (below average)
How do we weight the Electric, Fuel, Waste, and Carbon scores to get one overall score?
This weighting is based on BREEAM’s scoring methodology from 2016
Why is the Carbon score going to be different sometimes than the Electric and Fuel scores when they’re dependent?
While the expected usage is NOT impacted by location, Carbon emissions and the factors we use to determine them are impacted by location. E-grid factors vary based on the energy type (nat gas vs. diesel) and what type of grid the electricity comes from (coal-powered, renewable, nuclear). So maybe the site has low electric usage compared to what’s expected (high Electric score), but they’re located in a region with a “dirty” grid, so their carbon score will be lower to reflect that.
Are all sites benchmarked?
No. Here are some reasons why your site may not have a score:
Not Enough Data: 12 months of consecutive utility data is required.
Undefined Property Type: If we can't say for sure what use(s) occurs within the site, we won't benchmark it. Since use drives so many factors related to utility consumption, we need that information to accurately benchmark your site.
Too Small: Sites and subspaces less than 100 square feet are not scored. Neither Measurabl nor its subscribers are in the closet business!
Why does my Peer Benchmark differ from my ENERGY STAR score?
Measurabl and ENERGY STAR use different databases. ENERGY STAR uses the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) 2012 data that pulls from a representative sampling of commercial real estate in the US. However, Measurabl uses its own database comprised of 6BN square feet of real estate in more than 70 countries to create its benchmark. Our database is dynamic and highly granularyour benchmark is based on all of the sites within the database as opposed to a sampling of site performance that is then extrapolated.
Why did my benchmark change?
Your benchmark may fluctuate as we learn more about your site's performance over time, and as new peer sites join our database. With more data from you and your peers, we're able to accurately compare your site's performance as it changes in absolute terms (e.g. your site's consumption), and relative to others.
How often can my benchmark change?
Our database is updated daily so your benchmark can change just as quickly. Your benchmark represents your true performance at that moment in time.
Can I see my site's historical performance?
Yes, historical performance is visible on your Portfolio Trends page. Just select "Peer Benchmark" from the options in the dropdown.
What does this benchmark do for me?
Use the benchmark to prove sustainability performance to prospective buyers or tenants. Sort sites based on their individual performance to identify high and low performers. Use our analytics to understand what's driving site performance and take necessary action to improve. Your benchmark has many uses.
How do I identify my top and bottom performers within my portfolio?
You can determine your top and bottom performers by exporting the Portfolio Sustainability Report on the 'Portfolio Overview' tab. Navigate to this guide to learn more!
if you'd like help understanding or applying your benchmark!
View ArticleManaging and tracking an entire real estate portfolio's ESG performance can be a daunting task. Measurabl's Portfolio Sustainability Report allows you to easily get a pulse on how well your portfolio is performing overall, as well as for each environmental characteristic (electric, fuel, district, water, and carbon).
Using the portfolio report export, you can easily identify your top and bottom performers for carbon, energy, and water! This quickly shows you which 5 sites are your "top-performers" and which 5 sites are your "bottom performers" out of the portfolio for the selected time period.
How to find your Top-Performing and Bottom-Performing Sites:
Navigate to your portfolio
Go to the 'Portfolio Overview' tab
On the top-right of the page, select the "Export Report" button
Fill in the required fields (Time Period, Contributing Sites, and Preferences) and select "Export"

View ArticleOver time, sites that you’re tracking will be sold and will need to be removed from your portfolio in Measurabl. There are also other reasons why you may need to remove a site from your portfolio in Measurabl - for example when a site gets pulled in from ENERGY STAR but doesn’t belong to your portfolio.
This article shows how to delete a site from a portfolio as well as the differences between deleting a site vs marking it as inactive (and reasons you might choose each approach).
How to Remove Sites from your Group:
NOTE: Sites that are linked to ENERGY STAR cannot be deleted in Measurabl- you will need to delete them in ENERGY STAR (or transfer them to the new owner if the site was sold).
You can delete manual sites following the steps below.
Navigate to the “Sites” page.
Click on the site that you want to remove.
Click on the ellipsis (...) button on the right, to the right of “Export Report”
Click “Delete Site”.
reach out to us
A pop-up will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the site.
Click “Delete” to permanently remove the site.
NOTE: Deleting a site will remove the site’s floorspace usage (spaces), consumption data, and meter settings - You will no longer be able to view the site’s data in your portfolio.
Deleted Sites vs. Inactive Sites
There are a few reasons why you would want to mark your sites as “Inactive” and have them remain accessible in Measurabl instead of permanently deleting them from your portfolio.
If you choose to mark a site as inactive, you can always reactivate it after the fact. You also won't be billed for any inactive sites you have in the app.
NOTE:Marking a site as "Inactive" does NOT deactivate that site's Utility Sync accounts. Make sure to go into Measurabl and deactivate all of the utility accounts for the site before marking it as "Inactive" -otherwise data will be continuously pulled.
Why you’d want to mark a site ‘Inactive’:
Site was Sold and you will no longer be adding utility or non-utility data to it.
You don’t want to include this site’s data for reporting to GRESB or CDP, but it is still part of your portfolio.
The site came in through ENERGY STAR, but it is part of another portfolio.
If the site was sold, you want to ensure all Utility Sync sites are deactivated.
What happens when a site is ‘Inactive’:
Site remains in Measurabl.
Site’s metrics are not included in ‘Portfolio Trends’ summary calculations.
Site was sold, but you want to keep the site’s data as historical documentation for your portfolio.
Why you’d want to delete a site:
Site is a duplicate of another site.
Site was added manually but you no longer want to include it in your group.
Site was sold more than 2 years ago, which is outside of the GRESB Reporting Period
What happens when a site is ‘Deleted’:
Site’s utility and non-utility data will be removed from your Measurabl portfolio.
Site’s data will NOT be included in ‘Portfolio Trends’ summary calculations.
Site and its data will NOT be available in your Measurabl portfolio as historical data.
NOTE: If site is sold in current reporting year, you still have to report it to GRESB for the sake of total consumption values (it will be excluded from any Like-For-Like calculations).
If you have any questions regarding ‘Inactive’ or ‘Deleted’ sites, please feel free to .
View ArticleWhat is the Yardi <> Measurabl integration?
Measurabl integrated with Yardi,a real estate administration and energy management software, to allow seamless transfer of lease and building occupancy data.
The integration automatically reconciles buildings between Measurabl and Yardi, then syncs leasable area, occupancy rates, green lease status, and single- and multi-tenancy status between the two systems, harmonizing financial and sustainability data across entire real estate portfolios.
With data sharing now automated, clients have accurate data in both platforms without any manual entry.This is particularly important for reporting sustainability performance through organizations like the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB), and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to reduce the hassle of transferring your data from one platform to another.
How to pull Yardi data into Measurabl
If you’re interested in pulling your site (occupancy, gross leasable area and lease) data from Yardi into Measurabl, provide your Yardi building names/IDs then connect/share those sites with Measurabl in ENERGY STAR. Reach out to our Support team to answer any other questions you may have!

View ArticleJust received your invitation to set up your portfolio? This guide will walk you through all the essential steps that you need to get your portfolio up and running, including inviting users, editing user permissions, energy data syncing, adding and removing sites, and creating subgroups.
Inviting Users to your Group
Starting off, you'll want to invite the users who will be managing your data. You’re the portfolio manager, with ownership rights over the group of sites. You can invite two other types of users to help you manage your sites:
Portfolio Members = have the same views as a Portfolio Manager, can collaborate on reports (GRESB, CDP), add/edit all sites, access utility sync data, and invite users.
Site Managers = Can view and edit a specific site including site profile, utility data, projects & audits, and certifications & ratings
Navigate to this article to learn how to invite appropriate users to help you manage your portfolio.
Linking with ENERGY STAR
If the sites you’ll be managing in Measurabl are already entered in ENERGY STAR, you’ll want to link your account with ENERGY STAR to pull your sites’ historical data from ENERGY STAR into Measurabl.
If you don’t have an ENERGY STAR account set up yet, first follow the steps in this guide to create an account.
If you already have an ENERGY STAR account for your portfolio, simply follow these steps to link your account and your sites with ENERGY STAR.
Adding and Sites
You can't invite site managers without having sites first! Also, if your portfolio acquires new sites, or stops managing sites, you’ll need to add and remove the sites from Measurabl. There are two ways that you may add sites to your portfolio. Option 1 you will use if you have your sites synced with Energy Star; Option 2 will be used if you are adding manual sites.
Option 1:
How to Add Sites to your Portfolio (sites in ENERGY STAR):
1. If you have not already, add the site in ENERGY STAR following these steps
2. Share that site and its meters with Measurabl following these steps
Option 2 (Adding manual sites without ENERGY STAR):
How to Add Sites to your Portfolio (for manual sites not in ENERGY STAR):
1. Navigate to the “Sites” page in your account.
2. Click on the green “+” button, “Add Site”.
2a. To add manual sites in bulk, follow these steps
3. Fill in the Site Details for that site, and click “Save”.
Removing Sites
Before removing any sites, be sure that you truly want to exclude them from your performance metrics in Measurabl. Note that GRESB, for example, requires including sites in your report if your organization owned them for any period of time during the reporting year.
Deactivating sites:You can deactivate sites by toggling the radio button in the "Active" column on the right of the table on the "Sites" tab.You can always go back and reactivate the site within the "Sites" tab if needed.

View ArticleTracking certifications and ratings is a key component in presenting your building(s) ESG accomplishments in relation to industry standards. It’s important to identify the floorspace area associated with these certifications and ratings and pinpoint exactly which spaces of your building contribute to its overall performance.
Measurabl now allows you to assign your awarded certifications and ratings to spaces within your site! This helps you disclose this information in a more seamless and accurate way for internal and third-party reporting. You may now assign a certification to Whole Site, Common Area, or any specific Space(s) within the site if it was awarded to one specific area.
HOW TO ASSIGN CERTIFICATIONS TO SPACES:
Navigate to your site

FAQ’s
Can I assign my imported certifications to spaces? How?
Yes, you can assign your imported certifications and ratings to your spaces. Follow the same process by selecting that imported certification on the “Certifications & Ratings” tab of your site and select the space(s) where you’d like to assign it.
What happens if my certification or rating is not assigned to an area?
All certifications that are not assigned to a Space or whole site are indicated on the Certification & Ratings tab. There is a “Space” column on the table of certifications which highlights any certifications that have not been assigned to a specific space or Whole Site. The ft column also captures the floor area that is associated with that certification, depending on its assignment. This way, it’s easy to track which certifications and ratings have and have not been assigned.
Portfolio Managers and Members can also pull this information at the portfolio-level for their entire group of buildings. Just go to Sites > select from either the Certifications or the Ratings tile at the top > Table will appear of Certifications or Ratings > “Spaces” column. You can also export this information in a CSV file.
Can I assign a certification or rating to multiple spaces?
Yes! You can assign your certification to multiple spaces or one space.
What if my certifications and ratings were assigned to “Specific Areas” prior to this change?
Any certifications/ratings that were previously assigned to “Specific Areas” were migrated to “Whole Site”. This means that if you do not want the certifications to be assigned to Whole Site, you will have to go to the certification and reassign it to a specific space.
How does assigning certifications to spaces affect my GRESB calculations?
GRESB will grab the floor area of the spaces that the certification/rating is assigned to automatically. If the certification is assigned to multiple spaces, GRESB will add up the total floor area of the selected spaces together.
What if I have a site that has the same certification type at the same time, but for two separate spaces?
Measurabl now allows you to add multiple certifications of the same type to the same site for the same period, as long as they’re assigned to different spaces. For instance, you can have two LEED Interior Design and Construction silver certifications at the same time, one assigned to ‘Whole Site’, and one assigned to ‘Office’.
If you have any questions about assigning certifications and ratings to the spaces at your site, please do not hesitate to reach out to our
View ArticleSetting sustainability targets for your real estate portfolio? Measurabl allows you to analyze progress towards customizable goals and targets with the release of the Targets feature!
Targets allows you to set absolute or intensity-based targets, and the progress of your performance is visualized on a graph against that sustainability goal. You can add any number of targets across your portfolio for energy, water, carbon, and waste diversion goals. Follow the guide below to get started!
HOW TO ADD TARGETS:
Login to Measurabl
Navigate to the “Targets” tab
Click “Add New Target”
Fill out your target’s details in the form (Target Name, Metric, Target Type, Desired Outcome, and Baseline and Target Years)
Click the “Save” button
Measurabl will produce a graph of your target’s performance to date. The x-axis represents the duration of the target period from the baseline year to the target year. The y-axis indicates the target’s metric units (kWh, therms, MTCO2e, etc.) and the target type (intensity-based or absolute).
The target graph is composed of 3 lines:
Actual Performance: the portfolio’s actual usage plotted from the baseline year to the current year
Projected Performance: the projection of your performance based on the average annual change of your historical performance, starting from your baseline year
Target Performance: the ideal performance, calculated by taking the difference between your target and baseline performance, then dividing it by the number of years within the target period

Targets FAQs
Who can add and delete targets within a portfolio?
Both Portfolio Managers and Members can add, edit and delete targets.
Who can see targets created within a portfolio?
Everyone in the parent portfolio can see targets created. This includes portfolio managers, portfolio members, and site managers.
What is the baseline year?
The baseline year is the starting point for your goal; the year from which we calculate your percent increase or decrease in your chosen metric.
What is the target year?
The target year is the year by which you’d like to achieve your goal.
Why do my targets default to a certain metric type? How do I change them?
The units for the different target metrics (energy, water, waste, carbon) are determined based on your default metrics. To change your default metrics, navigate to your portfolio and adjust your metric preferences.
What buildings are included in the target? Can I change this?
By default, all buildings in your portfolio are included in your target. You can change this to include ONLY like-for-like buildings by selecting that filter when creating a target.
What metrics are supported?
Energy, Water, Waste Diversion, and Carbon
What do I do if I don’t have data for a baseline year?
If your baseline year does not have 12 months of data, Measurabl will alert you and allow you to enter in your baseline performance amount for the baseline year that you specified.
How is the percent (\%) complete calculated?
Percent Complete = (Baseline - Current)/(Baseline - Goal)
What are the different target types and what do they mean?
There are two types of targets you can track: Intensity-Based and Absolute.
An intensity target specifies a change in one metric in relation to another metric. For example, say you want to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions intensity from overall energy consumption by 45\% per square foot (kgCO2e / sqft.), by 2025. This would be classified as an intensity target.
Absolute targets specify changes that are measured in units (i.e. “We have a target to reduce carbon emissions by 40\% by 2030, relative to a 2013 base year").
Can I set targets for Subgroups?
Yes! Targets can be set at the subgroup-level.The data for the target will only pull from the buildings that belong to that subgroup.
Who can add Subgroup-level targets?
Subgroup Managers (this person has the same level of access as the Portfolio Manager for that subgroup), and Subgroup Members. Site Managers cannot add targets for subgroups.
Will my targets at the portfolio-level be visible at the subgroup-level?
No. Targets set at the portfolio-level are only accessible at the portfolio-level.
Targets set within the subgroup are also only accessible from within that subgroup.
Can I set like-for-like targets?
Yes! You may now add like-for-like targets by adding the like-for-like filter when creating or editing a target.
How do you define like-for-like?
Like-for-like targets are defined as:
The building was ownedfor the entirety of the target period (from the baseline year to present)
The building was fully operational for the entirety of the target period
e.g. no major renovations or construction events took place
The target metric (energy, water, waste, carbon) had continuous data for the target period
e.g. if I’m setting an energy target, I have to have 12-months of energy data for every year of the target period
Can I change targets I've already created to include like-for-like?
Yes! You can go into existing targets you've already set by selecting the "Edit" on that target's card, then checking the "enable like-for-like" box.
Can I set like-for-like targets for my subgroup?
Yes!
What’s next for targets?
Property Type filtering so that you can set targets for specific property types (e.g. retail only, data centers only)
Ability to identify top-performing and bottom-performing sites, so that you know where to focus your efforts
Reporting enhancements exporting targets information out of Measurabl
Weather normalized targets

View ArticleTrying to submit your building to earn a LEED certification? The process just became much easier with the release of the integration between Measurabl and Arc!
With just a few simple steps, you can import any number of sites from your Measurabl account into Arc’s platform. This prevents you from going through an extensive data collection process, and makes certification and recertification an effortless and scalable process.
Once a building is activated on the integration, the required site data (energy, water, waste) needed for the certification will import directly into Arc’s platform from the site in Measurabl. Please follow the guide below in order to activate your site(s) on the Measurabl / Arc integration!
How to activate the Arc integration:
Login to your Arc portal by clicking here.
Navigate to the site (project) that you are submitting for a LEED certification.
Select the “Credits/Actions” tab on the left-hand side, then choose “Data Input” from the drop-down.
When you Add a New Meter, a form will appear.
Support Team!
At the bottom of the form, select the “Measurabl” button under the “Import Data” section.
You may also follow this process:
Login to your Arc portal by clicking here.
Navigate to the site (project) that you are submitting for a LEED certification.
Select the “Manage” tab from the left menu to populate the drop-down options.
Choose “Apps”, then click the Measurabl card.
Click “Get Started” to begin the process.
Once you initiate the activation, you will be brought to the billing page in Arc where you can complete your payment for the integration.
You will then receive a confirmation of your activation, informing you that your data will be populated from Measurabl into Arc within 24-48 hours.
If you have any questions about activating the Arc and Measurabl integration, please do not hesitate to reach out to our
View ArticleThe GRESB Real Estate Assessment asks extensive questions around all facets of sustainability for each company or fund. Here are five of the top areas that you should focus on to set yourself up for success.
1. Set Reporting Boundary Accurately:
According to the GRESB Reference Guide, you must report onall assetsthat were operationalat any pointin the prior reporting year that you own (not lease), even if it was bought/sold in thatyear.
When in doubt, report the asset.
This may differ from how you defined “reporting boundary” in the past. There’s a tendency to “turn off” assets if you're missing data, if tenants are in a triple net lease (NNN), if an asset was bought or sold in that year, or a host of other reasons. However, the GRESB Reference Guide states thatany asset that was operational at any point in the reporting year must be includedin the reporting boundary. Any deviation from this rule shouldbe addressed in the “reporting boundary” RC 5.2 section of the survey.
2. Get Your Property Types Right:
There are 18 property types in GRESB.If your site contains only one property type, this should be an easy mapping for you. But, if you have a sitewith multiple property types, you have 2 options: 1) Report the siteas all one property type, or 2) Report the site as separate property types.
If the site's main property type is75\% or moreof the total property floor space, option 1 is the best choice. However, if the secondary property type is more than 25\%, option 2 is your only choice.A site with more than one “majority” property type is called “mixed use” and should be broken out by each majority space.
Don’t worry our system correctly identifieseach site’s property types, which will roll-up correctly in GRESB.
In addition to property types, be sure to define your sites as directly vs. indirectly managed assets correctly.Managed assetsare properties where the landlord has operational control the power to create and implement policies on how the building is run. If both the tenant and the landlord can introduce these types of policies, the asset should still be reported as a managed asset. Only in cases where tenants are the primary policymakers (i.e. triple net leases) should the asset be reported as anindirectly managed asset.
How do I mark my site as directly or indirectly managed within Measurabl?
To indicate that your site is indirectly managed, be sure to add this information into your site's profile by following these steps:
A) Go to your site
B) Select "edit" next to the site's name
C) Go to the "Control" tab
D)Mark "\% Gross Leasable Area" = 100 and "Tenancy" = Single Tenant
E) Click the green check mark to save!
3. Allocate Meter Data:
Definewhatutility data you’re collecting as it relates to your building (i.e. Whole Building, Tenant, Common Area). The leasing structure can help determine the various ways you define meter data. Be sure you’re correctly assigning meters and meter data to the appropriate responsible parties.
For example, if the landlord (i.e. you) pays the utility costs for a particular meter, you can easily report on the data coming from that meter. However, if the tenant is responsible for the utility payment and the landlord does not have access to the meter data, you may not have full data coverage for the building. By knowing which meters are for which spaces at your site, you can accurately report your data coverage.
Some common scenarios:
Full Operational Control:You can see and control the utility data used at that site. You have “Whole Site” data. (e.g. Office sites)
Partial Operational Control:You can see and control the utility data for the common areas and vacant spaces only. Your meter represents “Common Area” data. (e.g. Multifamily or Retail sites)
Triple Net Lease:You don’t have access to any of the utility data that your tenant uses. (e.g. Industrial sites)
4. Review Your Data Coverage:
Data coverage is the portion of your portfolio for which data is available in comparisonto the total floor area for which data could have been collected. This figure is reported as a percentage of the data you collect vs. what you could collect (a.k.a. Max Coverage). Your Max Coverage should sum to your total portfolio floor space,even if you don’t have operational control of the entire space.
Understanding your meter data allocations, helps you define your data coverage.
Worried about how that hurts your score? Don’t be! You’re compared to peers with similar assets. Chances are that if you’re having difficulty collecting tenant data, so are your peers.
Not sure what “counts” towards your data coverage? In Measurabl, you can quickly assess which sites have data and which buildings still need data. The filtering tools make identifying problem areas as simple as a few clicks, while the Utility Sync feature helps fill in the gaps left by manual data collection.
5. Go Beyond Utility Data
Your sites are so much more than utility data. Though this is a great indication of your footprint, your building performance is highlighted every year with efficiency projects, audits, certifications, and energy ratings. Utilize your GRESB report to shine a light on your achievements.
All these items, along with many other questions in GRESB, ask for associated portfolio coverage. Similar to "Data Coverage", this is equivalent to the floor area that's certified or rated in comparison to the total portfolio floor area. Even if only a small portion of your building is certified, such as the retail portion at the bottom of your office building, this still counts! Make sure to only include the retail space floor area for portfolio coverage, though.
Collecting projects from the last reporting period is a fantastic start, but you can also report on projectsevercompleted,even if it was completed during construction. Any projects that were completed more than 4 years ago, during construction, or when someone else owned it can be reported in the "\% whole portfolio covered" column (Q17-Q19). You can also report on audits performed over the last 4 years.
Not only will tracking these enhancements make reporting significantly easier, it will ensure you’re getting maximum points. Remember,if you measure what matters, it’s easier to improve upon success.
If you can check the boxes on all of these points, congratulations! Consider yourself a GRESB Reporting Rockstar.

View ArticleOur API and geolocation technologies enable Meausrabl to import certifications from LEED, BREEAM, ENERGY STAR, and more! Measurabl simply grasps the certification's details such as the level of certification, years valid, and the property's location.
Not seeing your site's certification in your site within Measurabl? Go ahead and follow the below steps to figure out why your certification may not be pulling into Measurabl.
How to locate missing certifications:
Check the site's address that is entered into Measurabl. Is it accurate?
Go to the Green Building Council's (GBIG) website and search for your building.
Does the address in GBIG's portal match the site's address in Measurabl?
If the addressesDO NOT match, go ahead and change the site's address in Measurabl to match what's in GBIG.
Once the change is made, it should take approximately 24 hours for the certification to sync into Measurabl using the new geolocation of the site. If you have any issues, contact Support !
Check site's 'Certifications & Ratings' tab
Are there any other certifications of the same type (LEED, BREEAM, etc.) and level awarded (Silver, Platinum, etc.) for that site?
Measurabl Support
If so, does that existing certification have an expiration date?
If the certification has no expiration date and you cannot import or add a new certification of the same type and level, contact our Support Team so that they can get the expiration date added for you.
Check the Green Building Council's website to verify that the certification is in their portal
If the certification is in their portal, then follow both processes above in order to determine the best steps in getting your certification synced.
If the certification is NOT in GBIG's portal, contact their Support Team to ensure that your awarded certification is documented in their database.
If you still have trouble after completing all of the above processes of checking your missing certification, reach out to so that we can troubleshoot for you!
