The Sustainability and ESG module in BuildOT One is ESG reporting software built on measured building data. It collects energy, water, fuel and waste data across a portfolio and calculates Scope 1 and 2 carbon. Every figure keeps its data lineage, so teams report from measurements instead of spreadsheets.
| Key fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Module | Sustainability and ESG |
| Part of | BuildOT One |
| What it does | Collects and validates sustainability data, calculates Scope 1 and 2 carbon and supports ESG reporting |
| Data sources | Energy and utility consumption data, fuel and operational data, waste and material tracking, manual ESG inputs and imports |
| Devices | Class 0.5S energy meters, water meters and wireless sensors, see sustainability products |
| Typical users | Sustainability managers, ESG teams, asset managers, energy managers |
What Sustainability and ESG does
- Gathers the data. Automated meter data arrives with controlled manual entry and imports for items that meters cannot measure.
- Calculates carbon. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are calculated using region-specific emission factors.
- Tracks performance. ESG indicators and targets are monitored across buildings and portfolios.
- Keeps evidence. Each metric and calculation keeps its data lineage for review.
- Prepares reports. Structured outputs support internal reporting and external disclosure.

How Sustainability and ESG works
- Capture. Meter data flows in automatically, with controlled manual entry and imports for the rest.
- Validate. Data entry forms and validation checks review each input.
- Calculate. Region-specific emission factors convert activity data into Scope 1 and 2 carbon.
- Report. Structured outputs are built with the data lineage of every figure kept in place.
How does meter-based ESG data compare with spreadsheets?
| Point | Spreadsheet-based ESG data | Sustainability and ESG module |
|---|---|---|
| Data source | Manual entry | Class 0.5S energy meters, water meters and wireless sensors, with controlled manual entry |
| Traceability | Hard to trace | Every metric keeps its data lineage |
| Carbon scopes | Varies | Scope 1 and 2 |
| Frameworks | Not stated | Supports data collection for Estidama, Dubai Green Building Regulations, WELL and LEED |
Who uses it
Sustainability and ESG teams use the module to gather evidence from many sites. Asset managers use it to compare buildings. BuildOT One supports data collection for Estidama, Dubai Green Building Regulations, WELL and LEED. It supplies the measured data assessors ask for, and assessment is carried out by the relevant body.

Frequently asked questions
Which carbon scopes does the module cover?
The Sustainability and ESG module in BuildOT One calculates Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon.
Does BuildOT One cover green building frameworks?
It supports data collection for Estidama, Dubai Green Building Regulations, WELL and LEED. Assessment against each framework is carried out by the relevant assessor.
Where does the data come from?
Mostly from wireless meters and sensors, plus controlled manual entry and imports for data that is not metered.
Can I see where a number came from?
Yes. The module keeps data lineage for metrics and calculations, so a reviewer can trace each figure.
