white energy drives ESG-KPI standards forward: Live measurement as the key to reliable building data
Starting signal for a new era of ESG data availability in the real estate industry: At this year's Real Estate Arena in Hanover on 15 May 2025, a new R&D initiative will be presented that paves the way for a legally compliant, standardized and tamper-proof exchange of ESG data in the real estate industry.
white energy is not only a founding member of this pioneering initiative - we are also a key driver of the project in terms of technology and content. Our live data platform and secure, hardware-supported data collection form the foundation for the high data quality on which all further reporting and evaluation processes are based.
From the DIN SPEC to the ESG Trust Layer: our role from the very beginning
white energy has already contributed its technical expertise to the standardization process by co-developing DIN SPEC 91475 - one of the three central technical pillars of the initiative. The new DIN SPEC defines ESG-relevant data points for the ecological analysis of real estate - a decisive step towards comparability and consistency in data collection.
Our many years of experience in the practical collection of building data, combined with our own IoT hardware and the cloud-based weEMS portal, qualify us as one of the leading service providers for valid, audit-proof energy data in the building sector. Our data quality makes the difference - it is not only the basis for ESG key figures, but also for strategic decisions and future regulatory evidence.
ESG data in real time: from the sensor to the bank
What was previously often considered a complex, manual collection of key figures is now an automated process thanks to white energy: our intelligent IoT gateways collect live, relevant energy and consumption data in buildings and transfer it securely and encrypted to our weEMS system. There they are aggregated and processed in a standardized format and made available for various use cases - from CSRD-compliant reporting to use in the initiative's new ESG Trustlayer.
Thanks to participation in this trust layer, all data collected is signed in an audit-proof manner and documented in a traceable manner. For real estate owners, asset managers and banks, this creates an unprecedented level of reliability and efficiency in ESG data processing.
More than KPIs: The path to the building consumption certificate
For us, the nine ESG KPIs used in the initiative are just the beginning: our goal is a comprehensive building consumption certificate that maps all relevant energy, resource and climate data for a property - based on real, measured and validated data. As a central component of future financing and reporting processes, this certificate creates real transparency and a reliable basis for decision-making.
