Blue Module Integrates the Rhino API to Visualize Real-Time Utility Data

ESG accounting meets verified and real-time 15-minute utility data, delivered automatically through one API

Amsterdam, Netherlands, February 19. Blue Module, the ESG accounting software that translates sustainability into financial return, today announced a new integration partnership with Rhino. Through the Rhino API, the Blue Module can now visualize utility consumption and on-site production data, including solar PV, in 15-minute intervals and in real-time, providing real estate teams with faster insights, stronger auditability, and reduced manual work. The integration brings Blue Module’s ESG accounting workflows together with Rhino’s automated utility data delivery, providing trusted 15-minute and real-time insights in one place.

Blue Module reports ESG performance based on recognized standards, translates insights into value-enhancing business cases, and enables efficient reporting to financiers, investors, tenants, and other stakeholders, in line with regulations such as the EU Taxonomy and bank requirements.

Rhino provides complete, accurate, and standardized utility data through an automated API, with verification and validation integrated into the data delivery process.

Xander van Baarsen, GM at Rhino, said: “Blue Module connects sustainability performance to financial outcomes, which is exactly where ESG reporting is heading. By combining Blue Module’s ESG accounting approach with Rhino’s verified utility data automation, real estate teams can now move from chasing data to improving performance and defending results with confidence.”

What the integration enables

With the Rhino API fully integrated, Blue Module users can work with centralized, high-frequency utility data without relying on manual exports, inconsistent formats, or delayed reporting cycles.

Key capabilities include

• Automated utility and PV data ingestion into Blue Module, eliminating recurring manual uploads and formatting work
• Unified visualization in Blue Module, combining consumption and on-site production in one view, across assets and portfolios
• 15-minute interval analytics plus real-time visibility, enabling both operational monitoring and ESG reporting workflows
• ESG accounting outputs that connect utility performance to financial value drivers, supporting investment decisions and business cases
• Centralized utility data API by Rhino, combined with Blue Module, turns that data into ESG accounting views and financial value signals.
• Standardized, consistent datasets across sites, improving comparability between buildings and reporting periods
• Clear audit trails and data governance support, helping teams defend numbers internally and externally with more confidence

Paul Wessels, CEO at Blue Module, said: “The market does not need more spreadsheets; it needs automated and reliable data flows. A unified, centralized utility data API solves the biggest bottleneck in ESG work: collecting consistent, portfolio-wide data that you can trust. Rhino fixes this by delivering validated utility and production data automatically, so our users can focus on value creation, reporting quality, and decision making.”

Why this matters for real estate teams

This integration reduces the biggest friction in ESG accounting, getting reliable utility and PV data into the system of record, then turning it into decision-ready insights and financial impact signals.

Benefits

• Faster month-end and quarter-end ESG cycles, due to automated and portfolio-wide data flows
• Better comparability across assets, with one consistent dataset powering the same Blue Module views and calculations
• Earlier detection of performance issues, using 15-minute trends and real-time visibility, so teams can act before inefficiency becomes costly
• Stronger financial narratives, by linking consumption and on-site production performance to value drivers, budgets, and ROI cases inside Blue Module
• More defensible reporting, supported by centralized data governance and clearer traceability from source data to reported outcomes
• Less manual collection and fewer errors through automated data delivery
• A clearer link between operational performance and financial outcomes, aligned with Blue Module’s value-based ESG approach
• Higher confidence in reported numbers, because Blue Module calculations are fed by Rhino’s complete and validated utility and PV datasets.
