Your Building Data Is Being Claimed by Your Tenants
Building owners, asset managers and REITs face a critical and growing problem: internal building data is increasingly claimed by tenants for their own ESG and Scope 1, 2 and 3 reporting, leaving the asset owner with limited, contested data that they can clearly use for their own disclosures and GRESB submissions.
Contested Internal Data
Tenants increasingly claim building energy, water and waste data for their own Scope 1, 2 and 3 corporate ESG reporting, creating contested ownership over the same data sets.
Asset managers and REIT operators find themselves with restricted, incomplete or disputed data for their own GRESB submissions and investor disclosures.
When both tenant and owner report the same building data, GRESB assessors and investors face double counting and attribution uncertainty.
Without a clearly owned, independent data stream, building owners cannot demonstrate the verifiable ESG performance that GRESB, lenders and regulators require.
Owner Controlled Exterior Data Stream
SGO converts exterior data driven cleaning and inspection operations into a dedicated ESG and GHG data stream that is owned exclusively by asset managers and building owners.
We capture operational telemetry from external building management: facade cleaning, exterior inspections, environmental monitoring and site condition assessments.
Raw operational data is structured across core ESG categories: water, energy, carbon, waste and greenhouse gas emissions, ready for GRESB aligned reporting.
The structured data translates directly into GRESB aligned datasets that building owners can submit with confidence, independently of tenant claimed internal data.
“The asset manager's ESG data should not depend on what tenants choose to share. SGO creates an independent, verifiable data stream from exterior operations that the building owner controls entirely.”
From Exterior Operations to GRESB-Aligned Datasets
Operational telemetry from external building management is captured, structured across five core ESG categories and translated into datasets aligned with GRESB reporting indicators.
Exterior water consumption from facade cleaning, landscape irrigation and site wash-down operations. Metered, timestamped and attributed to specific service events.
Energy consumed by exterior building management equipment: cleaning machinery, inspection platforms, lighting rigs and powered access systems. Linked to operational schedules.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions from exterior operations: vehicle movements, equipment fuel use and grid electricity. Calculated using verified emission factors with full provenance chain.
Waste generated from exterior maintenance and cleaning operations: chemical containers, cleaning materials, replaced components and inspection debris. Categorised by disposal method.
Comprehensive greenhouse gas accounting across Scope 1, 2 and 3 for all exterior building management activities. Structured for direct integration into GRESB GHG reporting indicators.
Every data point across all five ESG categories is cryptographically sealed by the DataProvenance trust layer at the moment of capture. Independently verifiable by GRESB assessors, auditors and investors.
The Global ESG Benchmark for Real Assets
GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) is the leading ESG benchmark for real estate and infrastructure investments worldwide. Used by over 170 institutional investors representing more than $51 trillion in assets under management, GRESB assessments provide standardised and validated ESG data to capital markets.
GRESB covers two primary assessment frameworks: Real Estate and Infrastructure. Participants report across management, performance and development indicators, covering energy consumption, GHG emissions, water use, waste management, certifications and stakeholder engagement.
GRESB scores directly influence investment decisions, green bond eligibility and cost of capital. A higher GRESB score correlates with lower financing costs, stronger investor confidence and improved asset valuations.
GRESB Partner Ecosystem
GRESB partners with leading advisors, solution providers, industry associations and research organisations worldwide. Partners are categorised by their role in the GRESB ecosystem.
Major advisory and technology firms providing comprehensive GRESB assessment support. Includes CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, Measurabl, Deepki, Yardi Systems and others.
Specialist ESG consultancies and technology platforms offering targeted GRESB data collection, reporting and advisory services across specific markets and asset classes.
Technology companies and service providers offering specific tools, data solutions and operational capabilities that support GRESB performance improvement.
GRESB Assessment Areas Where SGO Contributes
Performance indicators covering total energy consumption, energy intensity, Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions, and emission reduction targets.
SGO captures and verifies energy consumption and GHG emissions from exterior building operations, providing owner-controlled data for these indicators.
Water use tracking, intensity metrics and water management programmes across the asset portfolio.
Exterior cleaning and maintenance water consumption is metered, timestamped and structured for GRESB water reporting indicators.
Waste generation, diversion rates, recycling programmes and waste reduction targets.
Waste from exterior maintenance operations is categorised by type and disposal method, contributing to GRESB waste management indicators.
GRESB assesses the quality, coverage and verification of reported ESG data. Third-party verification carries additional scoring weight.
Every SGO data point is cryptographically sealed and independently verifiable via the DataProvenance trust layer, providing the highest level of data assurance.
KTV Working Drone Thailand · GRESB Solution Provider
KTV Working Drone Thailand is listed as a GRESB Solution Provider in the official GRESB Partner Directory. Data Trust Technologies developed the SmartGreenOperations ESG platform for KTV Working Drone Thailand and provides independent, third-party data verification for ESG and GRESB reporting.
KTV Working Drone Thailand
SGO ESG Platform Partner · GRESB Solution Provider
KTV Working Drone Thailand operates exterior building management services across commercial real estate in Thailand. Their operations generate a continuous stream of ESG-relevant data from facade cleaning, exterior inspections, environmental monitoring and site condition assessments.
Data Trust Technologies developed the SmartGreenOperations platform to capture, structure and verify this operational data, converting it into GRESB-aligned datasets that building owners can use for their own ESG disclosures, independently of tenant-claimed internal building data.
Operational telemetry from cleaning, inspection and maintenance activities captured via IoT sensors and field instruments.
Raw operational data structured across water, energy, carbon, waste and GHG emission categories for GRESB alignment.
Every data point sealed by the DataProvenance trust layer. Independently verifiable by GRESB assessors and auditors.
GRESB-aligned datasets owned exclusively by asset managers and building owners, not contested by tenant data claims.
How SGO Enhances GRESB Performance
IoT sensors and field instruments capture operational telemetry from exterior building management: water consumption, energy use, waste generation and environmental conditions during cleaning, inspection and maintenance activities.
Every data point is cryptographically sealed at the moment of capture using the DataProvenance trust layer: SHA-256 fingerprinting, RSA-4096 signing, Object Lock immutability and hash-chain sequencing. The data becomes independently verifiable by any third party.
Raw operational data is structured across five core ESG categories (water, energy, carbon, waste, GHG emissions) and mapped to the specific GRESB reporting indicators for Real Estate and Infrastructure assessments.
The structured, verified data is compiled into GRESB-aligned datasets that building owners and asset managers can submit with confidence. These datasets are owned entirely by the asset owner, not contested by tenant data claims.
By adding a new, verified data stream to GRESB submissions, asset managers can improve data coverage, demonstrate third-party verification and strengthen performance indicators across energy, water, waste and emissions categories.
