SIERA Software

The automated ESG data management platform purpose-built for real asset professionals.

Far more than a Sustainability Data platform

Real estate investors face mounting stakeholder pressure to set, monitor, and report against sustainability targets in the face of rapidly changing requirements. They struggle to reliably gather, validate and understand sustainability data for several reasons:

  • Aggregating sustainability data is challenging and often a manual burden.
  • Data quality is often poor and difficult to validate or remediate.
  • Reporting capabilities aren’t aligned with regulatory or internal requirements.

SIERA is an investment grade sustainability data management platform that manages, measures and reports on sustainability performance, from portfolio to asset.

SIERA helps real estate investors understand their sustainability position, meet compliance and performance reporting requirements and obtain insights to better manage sustainability initiatives and targets.

DIVE INTO THE DETAILS

Q&A

Below are some of the top questions we hear from real asset professionals. If you have any other questions, reach out and we’ll be happy to help.

Can I see what the source of data is and how much has been automated?

Yes—SIERA has been designed with transparency and traceability in mind.
The platform clearly shows the source of each data point, allowing users to drill down from high-level metrics all the way to the underlying granular consumption data. This includes a full audit trail so you can understand exactly how each figure was calculated and where it originated.
SIERA also incorporates data quality dashboards that surface key metrics, highlight any gaps or anomalies, and help prioritise areas that require attention. This level of visibility supports confident decision-making and enables users to focus efforts on improving data integrity and automation where it’s needed most.

How easy is it to export data from the platform?

SIERA makes data export simple and flexible. All data within the platform can be easily exported in a variety of configurable formats—ensuring compatibility with your internal systems, reporting templates, or third-party tools.
Whether you’re exporting raw data, performance metrics, or tailored reports, SIERA enables users to extract exactly what they need, in the format that best suits their requirements.

Are there dashboards to view performance at different levels, e.g., asset and portfolio?

Yes. SIERA’s flexible dashboard reporting allows performance to be aggregated according to user needs, ensuring alignment with roles and stakeholder reporting requirements. This flexibility also saves time by eliminating the need to process data outside the platform.
SIERA offers real-time insights, robust data quality, and strategic planning tools to support sustainability at both asset and portfolio levels. Key features include:
  • Customisable views with selectable timeframes for key metrics such as energy, water, waste, and GHG emissions.
  • Data quality management dashboards to track completeness and coverage, ensuring audit-ready reporting and enabling prioritisation of actions.
  • Action plan tracking, enabling users to manage and monitor sustainability improvement measures with associated budgets, statuses, and outcomes.
  • Certification and energy rating monitoring, supporting compliance and the ongoing implementation of sustainability objectives across assets.

Can the platform align to different asset, fund, or portfolio structures?

Yes. Purpose-built for real asset investment management, SIERA is designed to align seamlessly with client financial and investment structures—whether at the business, fund, or portfolio level.
SIERA stores and tracks all relevant asset attributes and master data needed for industry-standard reporting and analytics. It accommodates varying asset management statuses (e.g., landlord- or tenant-controlled) and allows utility meters to be linked to specific spaces and control types. This ensures accurate coverage reporting and alignment with GHG reporting protocols.

Does the platform provide functionality to automate the estimation of data in line with industry standards?

Yes. EVORA has developed a multi-stage estimation approach within SIERA that aligns with industry best practices.
This approach addresses both time-based completeness (e.g., missing days) and area-based coverage (e.g., floor area not reported). It leverages granular attributes of specific meters and assets to generate accurate estimates, which are then aggregated at the asset and fund levels.
Drawing on EVORA’s extensive consultancy experience and data from over 9,000 assets globally, the platform incorporates proprietary benchmarks tailored to the real estate sector. These benchmarks are further enhanced with country-specific data sources to ensure geographic relevance and robustness.

How does the platform align with international regulatory and voluntary sustainability reporting frameworks?

SIERA stores all the required data to support a broad range of voluntary and regulatory disclosures, with an emphasis on climate risk-related data. Metrics generated by the platform align to disclosure frameworks such as GRI and supports annual reporting standards such as EPRA sBPR, INREV Sustainability, SASB and GRESB as examples.
SIERA streamlines reporting processes to save time and reduce the need for post-processing of data off-system by generating industry standard disclosures directly in the platform to make it easily exportable and both aligned to the standards but also configurable to suit individual client need.

How is data ingested into the platform?

SIERA offers extensive flexibility and scalability in data collection. Wherever possible, data ingestion is automated through a variety of methods, including:
  • AI-based invoice parsing
  • Web scraping from utility provider portals
  • Integrations with national energy hubs
  • Connections with BMS (Building Management Systems) and energy submetering systems
  • Integration with other client systems and databases
  • A mobile app for manual meter reading submissions

Additionally, SIERA supports bulk data uploads with flexible formatting options, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of data sources and user needs.

Can dashboards and reporting be configured or customised?

Yes. SIERA offers a broad range of flexible standard dashboards focused on key metrics and performance indicators.
However, we recognise that our clients manage diverse assets and investment strategies—often with varying requirements, even when tackling similar challenges.
To address this, SIERA enables fully customisable analytics and dashboards. This flexibility allows reporting to be tailored to specific client needs, including different user groups, ensuring alignment with organisational goals and stakeholder expectations.

Does the platform integrate with recognised benchmarking initiatives such as GRESB and CRREM?

Yes. SIERA is fully aligned with leading benchmarking and decarbonisation frameworks, combining structured data management, automated reporting, and forward-looking analytics.
The platform simplifies reporting, enhances visibility, and drives data-led decarbonisation progress.
CRREM Integration
SIERA’s Net Zero Carbon functionality is aligned with CRREM methodologies to support long-term decarbonisation through:
  • Performance Analysis: Tracks current and projected emissions against CRREM pathways and Science-Based Targets (SBTs) at both fund and asset levels.
  • Stranding Risk Identification: Projects the year an asset or fund is expected to become non-compliant (“stranded”) under CRREM criteria.
  • Strategic Support: Enables client-specific decarbonisation strategies, supported by EVORA’s in-house climate risk experts.
GRESB Integration
SIERA ensures full compliance with the GRESB Real Estate Assessment by providing:
  • Comprehensive Data Capture: Covers all required GRESB metrics, including energy, water, waste, GHG emissions, energy ratings, and efficiency measures.
  • Automation: Automatically updates and formats data in line with GRESB’s reporting structure.
  • Direct API Submission: Facilitates seamless, automated reporting directly to GRESB via API integration.

How does the platform provide benchmarking insights to support sustainability decision-making?

We recognise that meaningful, market-specific benchmarking is critical for identifying both high- and under-performing assets in relation to business, portfolio, and fund-level sustainability goals.
EVORA leverages its extensive consultancy experience—supported by data from over 9,000 assets globally—to develop proprietary real estate benchmarks. These are further enhanced with country-specific data to ensure geographic relevance and robustness.
In SIERA, these benchmarks are embedded within core features such as automated data gap-filling and benchmarking analytics.
This integration enables users to generate actionable insights, track performance over time, and make informed, data-driven decisions to support their sustainability strategies at scale.

How does the platform support decisions and implementation of initiatives to improve asset performance?

SIERA provides robust analytics and reporting tools that empower users to identify, prioritise, and implement emissions reduction and performance improvement initiatives at both the asset and portfolio levels.
Key capabilities include:
  • Performance Dashboards: Visualise carbon emissions across portfolios and individual assets, with the ability to switch between metrics and assess each asset’s contribution to overall portfolio performance.
  • Action Plan Management: SIERA’s action plan view supports the implementation of sustainability measures by tracking project status, budget, and costs across a wide range of sustainability initiatives. Actions can be tagged using GRESB’s taxonomy for streamlined reporting via direct API submission.
  • Scope-Based Emissions Breakdown: Emissions data is categorised by Scope 1, 2, and 3, providing clarity on emissions sources and helping users target actions where they will have the most impact.
  • CRREM Integration for Net Zero Planning: Users can benchmark asset and fund-level performance against CRREM decarbonisation pathways, enabling identification of underperforming assets and informed prioritisation for strategic decarbonisation planning.
Together, these features support a data-driven approach to sustainability strategy, capital planning, and operational improvement—accelerating progress toward net zero goals.
