ESG & Compliance
Compliance starts with complete data.
ESG reports are only as credible as the utility data behind them. Rhino automates collection across every meter, every utility, every building in your portfolio. No gaps. No manual input. Audit-ready from day one.

Our role
The data layer your ESG platform depends on.
Your ESG software is only as good as what it receives. When the underlying consumption data has gaps or was manually collected, the output is wrong. Rhino makes the data right.
Audit-ready by default
Complete, timestamped utility consumption per building, floor, and tenant. Every figure traces back to the meter. No estimates, no approximations.
All utilities, automated
Electricity, gas, water, and heat, including submeters. Collected automatically across your full portfolio, on a single continuous data feed.
Platform-agnostic
Rhino feeds your ESG platform via API or direct export. Deepki, Scaler, BlueModule, and others connect out of the box. No custom development on your side.

Building certifications
BREEAM credits start with measured data.
BREEAM is the world's leading sustainability assessment method for masterplanning projects, infrastructure, and buildings. Relevant credits require continuous, sub-metered utility data.
Continuous sub-meter data. Per building function.
BREEAM's monitoring and energy credits, in both New Construction and In-Use assessments, require consumption data broken down by building function and tenant. Not annual totals from utility bills. Sub-metered data, continuously. Rhino provides exactly that, automatically, from the moment it connects.
LEED and ISO 50001 have comparable monitoring requirements. Rhino data export supports them all.
Man 04 / Man 05
Commissioning & Aftercare
Continuous performance monitoring post-handover. Rhino provides ongoing consumption data to verify that building systems perform as designed.
Ene 01 / Ene 02
Reduction in Energy Use & Carbon Emissions
Sub-metered energy consumption by building function. Rhino delivers 15-minute interval data for electricity and heat across all circuits in scope.
Wat 01
Water Consumption
Metered water consumption by function and tenant. Rhino connects to water submeters across the building and delivers continuous data for the Wat 01 credit.
How it works
Automated data. Zero manual overhead.
No spreadsheets. No tenant requests. No annual snapshots. Data flows directly from your meters, continuously.
No tenant involvement required
Consumption data is collected directly from the meter. Your tenants don't need to report anything, estimate anything, or do anything. The data is simply there, continuously, from the moment Rhino connects.
15-minute resolution, not an annual snapshot
Interval data at 15-minute granularity for every meter. Detect anomalies the day they happen. Audit any period, any building. Dispute any invoice with hard numbers.
No infrastructure overhaul
Rhino connects to your existing meters via smart meter API or its own hardware devices. No new cabling, no BMS upgrade, no CAPEX-heavy installation project.

Electricity, gas, water, and heat across every building in a single structured export. In the format your ESG platform, reporting team, or external auditor requires.
Regulations & standards
Built for the frameworks that matter.
Utility consumption data is a mandatory input in every major ESG regulation and certification standard relevant to commercial real estate today.
CSRD
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
Mandatory ESG disclosure for large EU companies from 2024. Requires per-asset energy consumption data under ESRS E1 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 reporting.
How Rhino covers thisEPBD
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive
Revised 2024 directive mandates smart sub-metering for multi-tenant commercial buildings across the EU by 2027. Rhino covers all data requirements.
How Rhino covers thisEED
Energy Efficiency Directive
Article 11 requires billing based on actual metered data. Rhino provides sub-meter-level consumption per tenant, in the billing intervals your country requires.
GRESB
Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark
Annual assessment for real estate funds and portfolios. Requires whole-building consumption data by utility type and reporting period in standard GRESB format.
EU Taxonomy
EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy
Technical screening criteria require energy intensity (kWh/m²) per asset to demonstrate Do No Significant Harm under climate change mitigation.
SFDR
Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation
Fund-level PAI indicators require building-level energy consumption and GHG intensity data. Rhino supplies the underlying asset data your fund manager needs.
NYC LL88
New York Local Law 88
Requires electricity sub-metering for individual tenants in NYC commercial buildings over 25,000 sq ft. Rhino delivers tenant-level consumption data to meet this requirement.
NYC LL97
New York Local Law 97
Emissions caps for large NYC buildings from 2024, with fines for exceeding limits. Avoiding penalties requires continuous consumption monitoring by utility and floor.

Common questions
ESG & compliance, answered.
Rhino supplies the underlying utility consumption data. It does not produce ESG reports itself. Your ESG platform, reporting team, or external auditor receives complete, timestamped meter data per building, utility, and tenant. What you do with that data is your choice. Rhino makes sure it is accurate, complete, and export-ready in the format you need.
Rhino connects to ESG platforms via API or direct data export. Partners including Deepki, Scaler, and BlueModule connect out of the box. For platforms without a pre-built integration, Rhino's API provides structured consumption data in standard formats. No custom development is required on your side.
Yes. Rhino can export consumption data structured for GRESB submissions, including whole-building figures by utility type and reporting period. For CSRD, Rhino provides per-asset energy consumption data that maps to ESRS E1 requirements. Export configurations are set up with your Rhino account team during onboarding.
No. Rhino connects directly to your meters, not to your tenants. Consumption data is collected automatically from smart meter APIs or via Rhino hardware installed at the meter. Tenants do not need to report, estimate, or share anything. This removes the single biggest source of gaps and inaccuracies in portfolio-level ESG data.
Rhino is the data collection layer. ESG platforms like Deepki are the reporting and analysis layer. Deepki depends on accurate, complete utility data to produce reliable reports. Rhino is what provides that data, automatically, from the meter. The two tools are complementary. Rhino and Deepki have a direct integration. The same meter data that powers ESG reporting is also the foundation for identifying and eliminating utility waste. See Cost Reduction if reducing utility spend is your primary goal alongside compliance.
Ready to close your data gaps?
Your ESG reports are only as good as the data behind them. Rhino makes that data complete, automated, and audit-ready across every utility in your portfolio.
