Unlock GRESB Success with Monitor Hut

Gary is responsible for his firm’s annual GRESB submission across 25 buildings in the UK and Europe. He knew strong performance was there — but proving it was a different story.

His biggest challenges?

• Utility data arriving late, in different formats
• Manual spreadsheets taking weeks to reconcile
• Low confidence that reported scores reflected reality

“We were spending more time chasing data than improving performance. By the time reports were ready, the picture was already out of date.”

When Gary adopted Monitor Hut, everything changed.

Live energy data was connected across all 25 sites — electricity, gas and water — with automated validation and dashboards mapped to support GRESB metrics.

That meant he could:

• Track performance daily instead of monthly
• Prepare energy data directly in line with GRESB indicators
• Spot baseload inefficiencies and out-of-hours usage quickly
• Benchmark sites and set realistic, evidence-based targets

Here’s what that delivered:

• GRESB reporting time cut from 3 weeks to 2 days
• 10+ GRESB indicators informed by accurate, live data
• A 20-point score improvement year on year (with energy monitoring as a key enabler)
• Confidence to evidence progress towards net zero strategies

“With Monitor Hut we moved from being reactive to proactive — from chasing data to making confident ESG decisions.”

In Gary’s case, Monitor Hut helped strengthen performance across multiple GRESB indicators. Live energy monitoring provided the evidence base for Energy (20 points), Data Monitoring & Review (5.5), and GHG (7) — while also supporting progress in Water, Targets, and Tenant Engagement. In total, up to 49 points on the GRESB scorecard are influenced by accurate, timely energy data.
