Scaler X Next Sense Partnership

Connecting building performance to portfolio sustainability reporting

|2 min read|By: Luc van de Boom

Institutional real estate investors face a persistent challenge: asset-level performance insights and operational optimization data rarely flow seamlessly into portfolio reporting, risk assessment and net-zero planning. Manual handoffs, disconnected systems, and duplicated effort remain the norm.

We're changing that.

Scaler and Next Sense are partnering to create an integrated data pipeline from building performance analytics to portfolio-level sustainability reporting.

What this delivers:

→ Next Sense provides building-level performance intelligence, energy optimization, and operational insights, translating raw consumption data into concrete actions for asset and facility teams

→ Scaler connects those insights to asset and portfolio carbon analytics, CRREM alignment, and regulatory reporting across GRESB, CSRD, SFDR, and EU Taxonomy

→ Data flows directly between the platforms, eliminating manual transfers, improving traceability and strengthening audit readiness

Ferdinand Grapperhaus, Founder of Next Sense: "Data creates value only when it leads to better decisions at the building level. This partnership with Scaler ensures that the insights we generate for asset and facility teams don't stop at the building door. They flow directly into portfolio strategy and compliance, giving investors a reliable link between day-to-day operations and strategic decision-making.."

Luc van de Boom, Co-Founder of Scaler: "Investors need to understand how asset-level performance translates into portfolio risk and regulatory compliance. By connecting Next Sense's building analytics directly into Scaler, we're closing the gap between what happens in buildings and what gets reported to stakeholders. That connection is where credibility comes from."

Why this matters now:

CSRD and SFDR are raising the bar on data quality, traceability, and assurance. Investors can no longer afford fragmented data stacks where building performance lives in one system and portfolio reporting lives in another. Integration isn't a nice-to-have. It's becoming a compliance requirement.

This partnership is part of a broader data ecosystem we're building alongside iqbiI (utility data collection) and Colliers (advisory and execution support).

The competitive advantage lies not in collecting more data, but in connecting it.
