How does Enertiv build a decarbonization plan for a property?

Enertiv starts with verified Scope 1 and 2 emissions baselines built from the platform's actual consumption data. For properties selected for carbon planning, Enertiv conducts a rapid on-site equipment survey to document existing systems, their condition, and applicable replacement options. From this foundation, the platform generates a sequenced capital expenditure schedule with emissions reductions, costs, payback periods, and implementation timelines for each measure.

What is an on-site equipment survey and why does it matter for decarbonization planning?

An on-site survey is a physical inspection conducted by Enertiv's field team to document the equipment installed at a property, including HVAC systems, lighting, building envelope, and energy infrastructure. Surveys produce a verified equipment inventory that supports accurate carbon planning recommendations. Plans built on real asset data consistently lead to better outcomes than those built on assumptions about what equipment might be installed.

How does Enertiv track progress toward net zero targets?

The platform supports multiple portfolio and asset-level emissions baselines and tracks actual performance against configured targets. Automated alerts are sent to property teams when trajectories deviate from plan. CRREM pathways can be overlaid against configured KPIs, and the measurement and verification module provides daily updates on cumulative savings from implemented measures.

Does Enertiv support CRREM pathway alignment?

Yes. CRREM pathways can be toggled on within the platform to overlay against configured decarbonization KPIs for each property type. This allows portfolio teams to compare their current trajectory against CRREM stranding risk dates and adjust capital planning priorities accordingly.

Can Enertiv help execute decarbonization projects, not just plan them?

Yes. Enertiv maintains a vetted partner network for project execution across retrofit, electrification, solar, and demand response programs. The platform connects identified opportunities to implementation partners who can move from feasibility to signed contracts. Execution is built into the platform rather than left as a separate engagement.

How do AI-powered recommendations work in Enertiv's carbon planning module?

Recommendations are generated from a combination of verified on-site equipment data, building characteristics, emissions baselines, utility rate data, and a maintained measure library with estimated costs, useful lives, and abatement potential. Each measure is characterized by annual CO2e reduction, capital cost net of incentives, energy savings, and net cost per tonne avoided. Scenario modeling allows teams to compare different sequencing options before committing capital.

How does Enertiv's approach to carbon planning differ from pure-software platforms?

Most decarbonization platforms generate plans from assumptions about what equipment a building likely has based on its age, type, and location. Enertiv physically gets on site to verify what is actually installed. That difference produces meaningfully more accurate OpEx and CapEx recommendations and eliminates the gap between a plan that looks credible on paper and one that holds up when capital is committed.

Two different conversations

Pathways unlock capital. Plans get projects approved.

Most platforms generate decarbonization pathways that provide a compelling narrative to investors. That's critical, but only the first step.

To get a project through budgeting season, there has to be an accurate understanding of equipment location, conditions, specifications, and the broader property's business context.

Asset inventory

Low-cost on-site surveys that create a living asset inventory.

Enertiv's field teams conduct rapid on-site surveys that produce a full digital inventory of every piece of equipment in your buildings. Surveys are powered by a purpose-built app with built-in validations to ensure consistent, accurate data at scale.

Digital inventory works as a living PCA and can be updated in under a minute as part of the replacement and maintenance process.
Using actual equipment condition and specs, Enertiv accurately estimates expected replacement dates.
Every piece of equipment is tagged with a QR code, accessible through the Enertiv mobile app for immediate field reference.

End-of-life planning

Plan every end-of-life replacement before it becomes urgent.

When a unit approaches end of life, most teams replace it in kind and move on. Enertiv provides scenario modeling well in advance so no efficiency opportunity gets missed in the process.

Enertiv tracks expected replacement dates for every piece of equipment based on actual condition, not generic useful-life tables.
As units approach end of life, Enertiv flags electrification and upgrade alternatives with cost and carbon comparisons, so the decision gets made before the procurement order is placed.
