In their own words
ABB Nsight
ABB Nsight is a cloud-based analytics platform for industrial operators seeking visibility into site energy use and carbon performance. It centralizes water, air, gas, electricity, and steam data in one dashboard and includes utility bill and tariff analysis. The platform supports greenhouse gas baselining, reporting, and real-time monitoring for Scopes 1 and 2. Its listed levels cover reporting and tariff analysis, real-time meter and significant energy user monitoring, and optimization tools such as grid prediction, demand response optimization, and automated load curtailment. ABB says Nsight connects with ERP, BMS, SCADA, AMI, and IoT systems using open APIs and flexible protocols. It is designed to use existing meters, sensors, and systems without requiring new hardware in most cases. ABB describes encryption at rest and in transit, outbound-only data flow, and two-factor authentication, and states compliance with SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, and NIST standards. All three subscription levels include onboarding, training, and 24/7 support. The platform is available on web and via API; pricing is on request.
Enertiv
Enertiv is a sustainability platform for commercial real estate portfolios, with tools for reporting, decarbonization, and energy efficiency. Its Energy & ESG module handles utility bill intake and quality checks, portfolio benchmarking, and reporting for regulatory and investor requirements. Tenant utility data can be gathered through a portal, shadow metering, or mobile meter reads with quality checks. Reporting connects with Energy Star Portfolio Manager and exports formatted data for GRESB, SFDR, CSRD, and TCFD. Carbon Planning uses equipment details collected in on-site surveys to generate AI-powered operating and capital expenditure recommendations. For building performance and maintenance, Enertiv can connect to an existing building management system or install monitoring devices; work orders can be linked to equipment alerts and runtime-based preventive schedules. Yardi and MRI integrations sync tenant and billing information. Customers can access platform data through the interface or RESTful API, and Enertiv says it stores data indefinitely. The free portfolio diagnostic uses read-only ESPM data; paid module pricing is available on request.
