Measurabl Launches Free Sustainability Software Solution, Onboards Over 92 Million Square Metres of Real Estate Within Weeks

Nearly 5,000 properties across 32 countries validate demand for a new, open ecosystem approach

LONDON, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Measurabl, the world’s most widely adopted sustainability data platform for real estate, today announced initial results from the launch of its new free software solution. While advanced features remain available through Measurabl’s suite of premium products, the free solution provides access to powerful tools that enable real estate stakeholders to measure, manage, and report on property and portfolio sustainability performance—at no cost, in perpetuity. Within four weeks of launch, new subscribers onboarded 5,000 buildings representing 92 million square metres across 32 countries, the fastest adoption in the company’s 13-year history.

Momentum around the free solution comes at a pivotal time. From the rollback of EU disclosure regulations to shifts in U.S. climate policy, including the EU Omnibus proposal and the potential elimination of the North American building energy rating programme, ENERGY STAR, the real estate industry is facing profound disruption and uncertainty. At the same time, investors and capital markets have shifted their focus to timely, performance-based sustainability metrics to inform real estate transactions, such as leasing, lending, securitization, index, appraisal and due diligence.

“The world has changed. We need to align sustainability with business value in a much more direct, measurable way,” said Matt Ellis, CEO and Co-Founder of Measurabl. “To do that, the real estate industry needs easier access to data, the tools to interpret it, and greater accuracy all at far lower cost. Paywalls have to come down. That’s why Measurabl made this major change to its business model and strategy. I could not be more excited at the tremendous response so far and look forward to working with everyone in the industry to grow and improve this new approach to sustainable and profitable real estate.”

Measurabl fast-tracked the launch of its free solution—part of its long-standing strategy—to answer a call to action for investment-grade data and bolster support for ENERGY STAR, which is currently under threat of termination. To date, ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (ESPM) has been foundational to sustainability progress, setting the standard for compliance and decarbonisation, and remains a global model for performance benchmarking.

With this new offering, Measurabl is committed to preserving and expanding the company’s core values of free, agnostic sustainability data management, at global scale.

“Measurabl’s free solution is a game-changer for property owners and managers seeking accessible tools to manage and improve sustainability performance,” said Ben Myers, SVP, Sustainability at BXP. “At a time when the future of ENERGY STAR is uncertain, Measurabl provides a streamlined, globally scalable platform for safeguarding and analyzing key performance indicators. This move reduces barriers, enables participation, and strengthens the critical link between transparency and value in real estate.”

Capabilities in the free solution allow subscribers to:

1. Track energy, water, waste, and carbon (Scopes 1–3) across properties and portfolios
2. Visualise performance trends and set reduction targets
3. Benchmark buildings against 21B SF, 110K+ global properties to uncover insights and stay competitive
4. Ensure investment-grade, audit-ready data with completeness checks, to stay compliant with local and global requirements
5. Collaborate securely and share data with internal and external stakeholders
6. Collect and store data seamlessly through bulk uploads

Early adopters include dozens of owners, pension funds, and their service providers.

For organizations with more advanced needs, Measurabl offers best-in-class functionality through paid upgrades to its Navigate software platform. Navigate simplifies utility data collection, enhances data quality with AI-powered gap and outlier detection, drives actionable decarbonisation planning that includes built-in financial and impact modeling, and enables flexible, stakeholder-ready reporting with powerful business intelligence tools. All the while keeping pace with evolving global disclosure frameworks.

The company’s suite of data products supports better investment decision-making by providing energy and carbon data at the asset- and company-level, performance benchmarks, and climate risk insights.

“As the leading global REIT benchmark setters for ETFs and active mandates, FTSE Russell is entrusted with over $320 billion (USD) in benchmarked assets,” said Ali Zaidi, Global Head of Real Assets at London Stock Exchange Group. “The rising requirement to systematically channel flows towards companies and assets with unambiguous sustainability credentials is not only prudent risk-management but speaks to the long-term viability of investment. Measurabl’s groundbreaking asset-level approach enables FTSE Russell to create benchmarks with quantifiable sustainability uplift and contributes towards our shared goal of greening of the built environment.”

Measurabl is in the process of building a broad industry coalition to shape the future, and ensure investment-grade data and effective, scalable solutions are available to all the key players in the real estate industry—from owners and operators to governments and consultants. They are calling on partners, collaborators, and forward-thinking leaders to join them in this effort.

With more than €3.128 trillion in estimated global annual commercial real estate transaction volume across lending, acquisitions, refinancing, insurance, and leasing, the need for investment-grade sustainability data has never been greater.

“Measurabl is fundamentally a data company and, now, with nearly 2 billion square meters of granular sustainability data, we have the unique ability to drive the richest and most actionable insights, benchmarks, and integrations to provide value for everyone in the real estate ecosystem,” said Kumar Brahnmath, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Measurabl. “This is the beginning of a connected, integrated, AI-enabled ecosystem where Measurabl is the sustainability source of truth powering real industry progress.”

Anyone can access the free solution today and get value immediately. Measurabl provides tutorials and support on its webpage as well as inside the application, and is working with a quickly growing network of consultants, owners, operators, and more, to provide support to building owners. Meanwhile, existing Measurabl customers already have access to free features as well as their paid premium capabilities.
