Amsterdam, Netherlands – July 23, 2025Scaler, the leading ESG data platform for real estate, and Rhino, a trusted leader in remote energy & utility monitoring that delivers real-time utility data (like consumption, on-site production from solar PV), are partnering to feed utility data directly into Scaler’s sustainability management software. 

This partnership empowers Scaler’s users to automate utility data collection and view energy, water, gas, and on-site generation metrics in a single, unified platform. The result is a seamless solution that saves time, improves data accuracy, and bolsters ESG performance tracking for real estate portfolios.

Key benefits:

  • End-to-end data: Utility consumption and on-site production data flow from Rhino into Scaler, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. This provides a “centralized, audit-ready source” of truth for all utility information.

  • Real-time performance insights: Up-to-date electricity, gas, and water usage data (plus solar PV output) are continuously available in Scaler. Asset managers can quickly identify inefficiencies and respond to issues, driving strong efficiency gains and cost reductions.

  • Unified ESG reporting: With accurate, normalized utility data feeding into Scaler, users can easily generate comprehensive sustainability reports (e.g. quarterly reports aligned with EPRA, INREV, GRI, GRESB, CSRD, EU Taxonomy) from a single location. The integration ensures high-quality, audit-ready data for consistent and verifiable ESG disclosures.

  • Compliance and sustainability impact: Automated data collection helps real estate teams meet strict regulatory requirements more efficiently. By freeing teams from data wrangling, they can focus on implementing ESG initiatives that lead to quantifiable reductions in emissions and improved sustainability outcomes.

By partnering with Scaler, we’re helping real estate stakeholders seamlessly incorporate utility metrics into their ESG strategies,” said Xander van Baarsen, General Manager at Rhino. “This partnership not only streamlines data flows but also empowers our mutual customers to track and reduce their carbon footprint more effectively. With accurate consumption and production data at their fingertips, they can drive meaningful sustainability initiatives and confidently meet evolving ESG compliance standards.”

Automating the capture of energy and water data is important for our clients so that they can focus on making an impact based on this data,” said Luc van de Boom, Co-founder & CIO at Scaler. “Partnering with Rhino means our users can reduce manual data collection and trust that their sustainability metrics are built on real-time, verified data. This saves valuable time and operational costs, allowing teams to focus on strategy rather than managing spreadsheets. More importantly, having reliable, auditable data on one platform helps clients accelerate efficiency upgrades and turn ambitious ESG goals into tangible results.”

This integration underscores the commitment of both companies to innovation in the built environment. By combining Scaler’s powerful ESG analytics platform with Rhino’s extensive utility monitoring network, real estate owners and managers can make faster, data-driven decisions to improve asset performance and sustainability. Scaling positive impact becomes easier when the data gathering is taken care of by Scaler and Rhino’s technology working in concert.
