Without needing monthly or hourly data or involving third-party utilities, REP models carbon emissions, energy costs and compliance status for businesses starting their climate risk assessment.RENO, Nev., April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As corporations prepare to disclose their greenhouse-gas emissions in response to new climate rules and regulations, they are often hindered by detailed data accessibility and a lack of understanding as to where emissions compliance begins. NZero, the real-time data and decarbonization platform, today announced the release of its Rapid Emissions Profile (REP) tool, a low-friction entry point for customers early in their decarbonization journey who are seeking a baseline understanding of their emissions and their penalty exposure without requiring access to actual utility data. And this Earth Day, they're offering it for free.Needing only building type, size, location and annual energy consumption, REP uses AI and machine-learning to produce a benchmark efficiency profile along with a compliance status and projected annual fines. Emissions compliance is emerging as complex, distributed and financially injurious, with large potential penalties across local and state jurisdictions, in addition to federal regulations. REP quickly audits this landscape for its customers, provides insight into which buildings are likely non-compliant and allows owners to prioritize their efforts effectively and efficiently."The path to decarbonization is not always straightforward. It requires sophisticated technology, partnerships with utilities, coordination amongst a varied team of stakeholders and consistent internal support

Starting this year, thousands of buildings in New York City will have to start reducing their carbon emissions. But before that happens, owners need to understand how much pollution they are generating.Electricity alone makes up 60% of the total energy use in commercial buildings, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. There are plenty of tools out there that can convert an electric bill into estimated carbon emissions, but many are based on rough estimates. With the growth of intermittent wind and solar, knowing when you’re using electricity is almost as important as how much you’re using.It’s why Nzero, a carbon-tracking startup, developed a new algorithm, giving building owners reports that estimate carbon pollution down to the hour.Some owners whose buildings are equipped with advanced meters and sensors already have that data, but many do not. “Better data is going to give you better outcomes,” John Rula, Nzero’s CTO, told TechCrunch, “but it should not be a blocker.”The problem can be especially vexing for a class of real estate investment trusts, or REITs, favored by investors known as a triple net lease
