MRI Energy

MRI Energy is an energy management suite from MRI Software, the property and real estate technology provider, that helps owners and operators of commercial and residential portfolios identify significant energy savings opportunities. Energy is one of the largest controllable operating costs in real estate, and investors, tenants and regulators increasingly expect landlords to measure and reduce consumption and carbon emissions. Yet utility data is often scattered across invoices, meters and spreadsheets, making analysis slow and incomplete. MRI Energy addresses this by consolidating utility and meter data and applying analytical techniques to uncover inefficiencies, anomalies and cost-saving measures. Its approach connects energy management with property operations and financial systems, allowing organisations to link consumption data to specific buildings, tenants and cost centres, which supports both operational improvement and reporting to stakeholders. The suite is designed to scale across large, geographically dispersed portfolios, giving head office teams a consistent view of performance while allowing site teams to investigate the drivers of consumption at individual properties.

Key capabilities include utility bill capture and validation, meter data aggregation, consumption and cost tracking, benchmarking of buildings against each other and against external standards, and analytics that identify unusual usage patterns or billing errors. Tools support the evaluation of energy conservation measures and tracking of their results, helping organisations verify savings and prioritise capital projects. Sustainability reporting features support frameworks such as ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and GRESB, as well as local building performance regulations. Integration with MRI's broader property management, accounting and investment platforms allows energy data to inform budgeting, recoveries and tenant billing. The solution is cloud-based and is typically implemented with support from MRI's professional services teams. It is aimed at real estate investment trusts, commercial landlords, property management companies, corporate occupiers and public sector organisations managing large portfolios of buildings. Pricing starts from around USD 2,000; there is no free trial and no permanently free version.
