“Sustainability has to be a value multiplier” has been a steady drumbeat for the last year plus. Still, the lens for applying that mantra has been too narrow. In practice, it has applied mostly to capital expenditures - electrification doesn’t get funded, while LED retrofits do. But the same logic applies to benchmarking your portfolio in the first place, particularly where collecting tenant-controlled data is necessary. Today, tenants that provide utility bills see no value whatsoever. Maybe they avoid fines to the property and then a difficult conversation around who’s going to pay. But those bills are a potential treasure trove of data. For example, energy procurement in deregulated markets is fragmented and complex, even for large sophisticated companies. So, do it for them. As an incentive for sharing their bills, you can identify opportunities for them to reduce their rates. Commercial energy rates are up 29% on average in the last two years - this will be welcomed. Another example is demand response. Utilities pay cash to enroll in these programs, but navigating which utilities participate, and the details between various programs, is often too much for tenants. So, do it for them. Make the general manager a hero for sharing data, not just a distraction. Of course it’s easier said than done. I’m going to cover the details in NNN Utility Data Collection That Doesn't Suck: How to Make Tenants Actually Want to Share. Link in the comments.

Enertiv is hiring! We've opened two new roles on our GTM and Product teams: → Client Success Manager → Senior Product Designer If either role sounds like you, or you know someone who'd be a strong fit, reach out or share with your network. Application links in the comments.

You want tenants to share their utility data with you. What's actually in it for them? In most cases, nothing. And it shows. GRESB and benchmarking submissions just ended. For NNN portfolios, the collection process is characterized by friction, burdensome manual process, and uncooperative tenants. Too often, the only recourse is negative: benchmarking fines, green lease language, and so on. On July 23rd at 2PM ET, Comly Wilson is running a 25-minute crash course on ways to flip the script and incentivize tenants to share data. → A collection process built around how NNN tenants actually share data → Messaging that blends carrot and stick to maximize coverage → Converting utility data into real dollar value for tenants, through energy incentives and services You’ll leave with a practical framework for improving tenant participation and making sustainability reporting easier and more valuable for everyone involved. ➡️ Registration link in comments ⬅️

Enertiv is heading to the IMN ESG & Decarbonizing Real Estate Forum, July 14-15 in Dana Point, CA. We're especially excited about this one. The event is zeroing in on the shift everybody in commercial real estate is feeling right now: ESG has stopped being its own justification, and sustainability spend has to deliver real returns. Comly Wilson and Josh Mendes will be there to talk about how Enertiv supports real estate portfolios in this new phase: reporting that pays for itself, better portfolio data coverage, and decarbonization plans that can survive budgeting season. Comly will also be speaking on the Building Performance Data, Benchmarking & Reporting panel, covering how owners are preparing portfolio data for regulators, lenders, investors, and how that same data can support better operational and capital decisions. Swing by for coffee and a little something special. Hope to see you there! 😉

We’re excited to welcome John Ruder as our newest Senior Product Manager at Enertiv. John brings a rare mix of product management, entrepreneurship, and hands-on AI experimentation. Across startups and larger companies, he has helped teams turn new ideas into real products, improve workflows, and create experiences that solve meaningful problems for users. Over the past year, John has been especially focused on the AI app layer, exploring how new tools can accelerate product development, automate manual work, and create more intuitive product experiences. That perspective is a strong fit for where Enertiv is headed as we continue building AI-powered workflows on top of precise, verified building data. At Enertiv, John will help shape the next generation of our product experience, making it easier for commercial real estate teams to move from data collection to reporting, planning, and action. Based in Boulder, Colorado, John lives with his wife and two teenage boys. Outside of work, he loves to travel, spend time outdoors, canoe, ski, hike, and play tennis whenever he can. In his words: “It’s an exciting time to be joining Enertiv. The talent is impressive, the opportunities before the company are incredibly strong, and the mission is compelling.” We’re excited to have you on the team, John. Welcome to Enertiv! 🚀

Just a quick reminder that our webinar is tomorrow at 2 PM ET. We’ll be talking about the difference between decarbonization pathways and actual carbon plans, and why the data underneath them matters so much when it’s time to move from strategy to execution. 👉 LINK: https://lnkd.in/deZW3ySM Hope to see you there!

A decarbonization pathway tells investors where you’re going. A plan informs budgeting season this October. Most teams are stuck at the pathway. The gap usually comes down to data. Pathways run on consumption data and building characteristics. It's useful for unlocking transition capital, but not enough for a budget meeting. Plans require something different. You need to know what equipment is actually on site, what condition it’s in, what’s past useful life, and what can be improved before a dollar of CapEx is deployed. Most tools are trying to infer that from benchmarks. Those assumptions rarely survive budgeting season scrutiny. That’s what we’re digging into on June 4th. I’m hosting a live session where we’ll cover: - The ease, speed, and value of portfolio-wide roadmaps, and their ceiling for execution - What a complete, current equipment inventory makes possible that no inference engine can replicate - What else should be in your carbon plan to maximize the business case, including optimizations, utility incentives, and more - A side-by-side comparison: a decarbonization pathway built on benchmarks vs. a plan built on actual on-site data June 4th | 2 PM ET Register here: https://lu.ma/i2n15dno

Taurus Investment Holdings, LLC has been an incredible Enertiv client and partner since 2020. Over the past five years, we’ve worked together to improve energy performance, maintenance operations, and visibility across building systems. A great example of that work is Greenway Tower, a 200,000 sq ft Class A commercial office building: → $41,780 in implemented annual energy savings + $11,500 in progress → $18,000/yr in demand response revenue identified → 3,254 maintenance work orders completed at a 100% average completion score → 5 critical equipment alerts resolved before equipment failure or tenant impact Enertiv helped consolidate operations and systems to give the property team greater visibility across energy and maintenance. Real-time equipment monitoring fed directly into the maintenance workflow, helping the team catch issues early and stay ahead of problems instead of reacting to them. Five years in, we’re proud of what we’ve built together, and grateful to work alongside a team with such a clear focus on operational performance, tenant experience, and long-term asset value.

New member on #TeamEnertiv! Please join us in welcoming Josh Mendes, our new Enterprise Account Executive. Josh grew up on the Gold Coast in Australia and built his career at the intersection of engineering and the environment. He started as a project engineer, building digital twins of water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure for local government clients. An internal transfer brought him to the US in 2008 for a major project with the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation. From there, Josh made the jump into sales in 2011, bringing that same technical fluency to selling software across local, state, and federal agencies, as well as AEC consulting firms. He later moved into IoT sales, focusing on helping cities detect and reduce water loss. Josh is excited to join the team and bring his technical background to help decarbonize commercial real estate. Outside of work, he surfs around Encinitas, explores new restaurants across San Diego, and is working on his pickleball and golf skills. A passionate traveler with 26 countries under his belt, he makes it back to Australia every year to see family and friends. Let’s build together, Josh. Welcome aboard!

Every major sustainability platform now promises AI-powered decarbonization pathways. And honestly? The fund-level story is compelling. You can model portfolio-wide emissions, identify CapEx projects at scale, and put together a plan that excites LPs and satisfies reporting requirements. But here's where teams keep getting stuck: execution. Pathways built on generic, inferred data are missing the details that make them actionable. AI is only as good as the data underneath it, and when that data is estimated from building characteristics, regional benchmarks, and equipment classes rather than observed on site, the gaps add up fast. The result is a decarbonization roadmap that looks solid on paper but keeps hitting walls when someone actually tries to execute it. In this session, Comly Wilson, VP of Growth at Enertiv, will walk through why the gap between decarbonization strategy and on-the-ground execution is still so wide. You'll come away with a clearer picture of: ✔️ Why AI-only carbon planning tools hit a ceiling when it comes to execution ✔️ How operational improvements can cut consumption 10–30% before a dollar of CapEx is deployed ✔️ What a current, complete equipment inventory makes possible that no inference engine can replicate ✔️ A live side-by-side: a decarbonization plan built on generic benchmarks vs. one built on actual on-site equipment data June 4th, 2026 | 2 PM EST 👉 LINK: https://lnkd.in/deZW3ySM See you there!
