Four steps to validated and reliable energy reporting based on live data

According to a recent PwC study, facility management managers already consider the increasing cost of monitoring and documentation to be the biggest challenge. EU regulations, the Swiss Responsible Business Initiative and additional complex legislation at national level in Germany and Austria are affecting more and more companies. In view of the UN climate targets, further legislative initiatives are likely to follow, which means that even more companies will be subject to legal requirements in future.

Whether for determining key figures for mandatory reporting purposes or for pursuing a company's own sustainability strategy, the determination of sustainability-related key figures is another core problem in facility management. The problems are manifold and are primarily due to a low degree of automation and the lack of smart building technologies. The resulting high workload, coupled with low data transparency, leads to a workload that is almost impossible to manage.

In this white paper, we show how the challenges in facility management can be met in four steps and highlight the advantages made possible by the use of smart building software.
