Why Strong ESG Results Are Easier to Repeat When the Right Systems Are in Place
Noelle Bohlen opened the session by grounding the roadmap in the reality many teams are facing: as reporting cycles like GRESB approach, the pressure to deliver complete, accurate, and auditable data increases — often without additional time or resources.
She shared highlights from the most recent GRESB cycle supported through Measurabl, including:
- A majority of participating funds achieving Green Star status
- Over half improving scores year over year
- Multiple funds earning top peer rankings and five-star ratings
The takeaway wasn’t about the scores themselves, but what enables them. As Noelle emphasized during the session, repeatable outcomes depend on having systems that make data easier to collect, easier to trust, and easier to report — without relying on spreadsheets or last-minute cleanup.
The product investments shared throughout the webinar were designed with that goal in mind: helping teams shift from reactive reporting to more predictable, defensible performance.
“With the right systems in place, high-quality data and repeatable ESG outcomes aren’t just possible—they’re predictable.”
— Noelle Bohlen, Director of Product, Measurabl
Report With More Confidence Knowing Your Data Can Be Verified
Noelle Bohlen then introduced the session’s focus on data assurance, followed by a deeper explanation from Michael Taschner, Global Head of Sustainability Solutions at S&P Global.
Why Measurabl Partnered With S&P Global
Michael explained how Measurabl’s partnership with S&P Global supports independent ESG verification directly within the platform, reducing friction and back-and-forth during assurance engagements.
As sustainability expectations evolve, independent verification is quickly becoming a baseline requirement. Investors, lenders, and frameworks like GRESB increasingly ask not only for data, but for assurance that the data is accurate and complete.
That is why Measurabl partnered with S&P Global—to make third-party ESG verification accessible, efficient, and integrated into everyday workflows.
How Data Verification Works
Through this partnership, customers can engage S&P Global directly through Measurabl for:
- Independent, conflict-free assurance

Catch Data Issues Earlier — and Fix Them Before Reporting Season
A core theme of the roadmap was improving how teams manage data quality on an ongoing basis, not just at reporting deadlines. Anthony Covarrubias led this portion of the session, focusing on how Data Manager has evolved over the past year.
Data quality remains the single biggest challenge we hear from sustainability teams. As sustainability data becomes more visible—to investors, regulators, and assurance providers—it must be governed with the same discipline as financial information.
Data Manager is the foundation of that governance.
Fix Gaps and Outliers Early to Save Time and Reduce Risk
Rather than treating data quality as a one-time check, Data Manager now helps teams:
- Identify gaps and outliers automatically
- Understand why issues exist, with contextual detail
- Assign issues to the right people (including property managers)
- Track resolution activity in a fully auditable workflow
Anthony demonstrated how suspected inaccuracies are surfaced directly in the platform, replacing the common practice of exporting issues into spreadsheets and emailing them around. Teams can now collaborate on resolving issues in one place, with clear ownership and visibility.
“Data quality isn’t just about finding issues — it’s about giving teams a practical way to resolve them together, before those issues show up in reports.”
— Anthony Covarrubias, Senior Product Manager, Measurabl
These workflows replace ad hoc spreadsheets and email chains with a structured, auditable system that supports internal accountability and external scrutiny. This allows sustainability teams to spend less time reconciling data and more time focusing on analysis, planning, and improvement.
Upcoming Feature Releases to Strengthen Data Quality and Auditability:
- Bulk meter reading imports
- Commenting directly on individual meter data points
- Expanded audit reporting across certifications, spaces, and asset attributes
- A portfolio-level data quality health dashboard
Measurabl’s objective is to make data quality visible, manageable, and defensible—especially as assurance becomes more common.
Spend Less Time Chasing Utility Data — and Trust What Comes In
Zachary Shelin then focused on the foundation of everything discussed in the webinar: data collection. He acknowledged a common frustration across the industry — that time spent tracking down utility data often crowds out time spent driving real impact.
The roadmap highlighted several ways Measurabl is reducing that burden:
Faster, More Flexible Bill Uploads
- AI-Powered Utility Bill Upload
Global support for electricity, gas, and water bills, with AI extracting data in minutes. Our models continuously adapt to changing bill formats, improving accuracy and reducing manual effort.
Direct-to-Source Utility Integrations
- UK Utility Integration via PERS
Covering approximately 95% of the UK commercial market, this integration will deliver monthly whole-building electricity and gas data across customers’ UK funds and portfolios delivered to Measurabl automatically. This is critical to saving time on data collection and improving data coverage heading into 2026 reporting season for regulations like CSRD and EU Taxonomy as well as voluntary reporting like GRESB - PG&E Direct Integration (U.S.)
API-based access to standardized Green Button data, delivering near real-time utility data without credential management.
“The goal isn’t just faster data — it’s giving teams back time they can use to plan, execute, and prove the impact of sustainability projects.”
— Zach Shelin, Senior Product Manager, Measurabl
What Was Demoed Live During the Webinar and How Teams Can Use It Day to Day
A core focus of this session was showing—not just telling—how these capabilities work in practice. Live demonstrations included:
- Data Manager workflows, showing:
- Identification of data gaps and outliers
- Drill-down into suspected accuracy issues
- Assignment and tracking of remediation tasks
- Decarb tools, including:
- Portfolio-level visibility into Building Performance Standards (BPS)
- Asset-level detail for NYC Local Law 97
- Emissions trajectories against regulatory thresholds
- Projected fines and avoided penalties through efficiency upgrades
- Insights dashboards, highlighting:
- Portfolio-level emissions KPIs
- Scope 1, 2, and 3 breakdowns
- Custom emissions factor overrides
- Subgroup filtering by fund, geography, asset type, and tenant responsibility
- Export-ready reports for internal and external use
These demos were designed to show how teams can move seamlessly from data review to decision-making within a single platform. Each demo was framed around common day-to-day questions teams face — such as where data issues exist, which buildings carry the most compliance risk, and how performance has changed over time.
Understand BPS Risk Early – Planning Ahead Instead of Reacting
Anthony Covarrubias returned to highlight how Measurabl supports teams navigating Building Performance Standards (BPS), including New York City’s Local Law 97. Building Performance Standards continue to expand rapidly across U.S. jurisdictions, with fines already in effect in cities like New York.
Anthony emphasized that compliance risk is becoming more localized and more financially material. Through DCARB, teams can:
- See which buildings are subject to which ordinances
- Understand when fines begin and how they escalate
- Model the impact of efficiency projects on future penalties
By pairing regulatory intelligence with accurate emissions data, teams can evaluate compliance pathways and prioritize capital investments.
“By understanding Building Performance Standards early, teams can turn potential compliance risks into actionable strategies—avoiding fines and making smarter investments.”
— Anthony Covarrubias, Senior Product Manager, Measurabl
Turn ESG Data Into Clear Answers for Leadership and Investors
Noelle Bohlen closed the demo portion with a walkthrough of Insights, Measurabl’s embedded analytics module.
Insights helps teams move beyond raw data by:
- Visualizing carbon, energy, and intensity trends over time
- Breaking performance down by scope, asset type, geography, or fund
- Supporting custom emissions factors where needed
- Allowing dashboards to be shared or exported for stakeholders
Rather than building reports from scratch, teams can use pre-built dashboards or create their own, depending on the question they need to answer.
