Big data and environmental sustainability go hand in hand. With climate change and resource depletion becoming critical global issues, there’s an urgent need for practical tools to monitor and manage our environmental impact.    

This is where GoRPM can help, offering a comprehensive platform that empowers users to take control of their facility sustainability programs.  

Monitoring Sustainability Goals  

GoRPM provides a centralized repository for all your sustainability data. This capability is especially important for large organizations with a large real property portfolio. The platform allows users to gather details about their facilities, such as their types, locations, and sizes. This information then serves as the foundation for effectively tracking sustainability goals and programs.  

With all your data in one place, you can explore GoRPM’s many features, including monitoring and managing your environmental sustainability efforts. When combined with insights from ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager®, GoRPM is the key to turning benchmarked data into actionable knowledge.     

Portfolio Manager is a powerful interactive resource management tool that tracks energy use and efficiency for various facilities, leading to greater insights into facility energy management. It consolidates all essential data, which allows you to perform comprehensive comparisons across your entire portfolio. GoRPM further streamlines the process, making sustainable property management and real property management more efficient. Even if you don’t use Portfolio Manager, GoRPM allows you to monitor and manage sustainability metrics so you can review your usage and compare it to your pre-determined operational goals.     

GoRPM also allows users to gather important energy-related details about their facilities, such as their types and locations, in one easy-to-access platform. The platform enables users to assemble key statistics, such as square footage, which are essential for making accurate sustainability measurements. Collectively, this information forms a solid foundation for effectively tracking and achieving sustainability goals and programs.  

Real-World Success Stories  

GoRPM has helped many organizations achieve their sustainability goals.    

In one instance, a client used GoRPM to input facility information and square footage. They expected a high ENERGY STAR rating for a relatively new building and were surprised when it fell short. GoRPM helped them investigate the issue and ultimately identify a problem with the HVAC system, which they could then fix.     

In another example, a large client utilized GoRPM to capture key condition assessment metrics. This analysis uncovered a significant issue with makeup water, which, when combined with utility results from ENERGY STAR, helped identify and rectify a broader problem. Addressing this issue reduced utility costs and showed the value of integrating various data sources. By bringing all this information together, GoRPM enabled more efficient decision-making and significant cost savings.  

Another large client sought to prioritize sustainability by including the type of energy used by real property in their decision-making process. GoRPM enabled them to make informed choices, differentiating between energy sources like natural gas and electricity.     

GoRPM proves invaluable for organizations aiming to enhance the sustainability of their real property portfolios. Its effectiveness is evident in real-world success stories, highlighting the platform’s ability to centralize data and integrate efficiently with the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Additionally, GoRPM provides users with uninterrupted access to its features, which further supports sustainability programs.
