Sustainability & compliance
Sustainability at ecojiva is an engineered outcome: measurable kWh, kW and tons of CO2 removed from your operation, documented by ecoSEMS®, and delivered through a balanced framework of people, planet and profit.
Lower cost and lower emissions are the same project
Every ecoSEMS control action, every stored kWh and every solar kWh reduces both your bill and your Scope 2 emissions. The platform tracks energy use intensity (EUI) and emissions continuously, so reporting for building-performance laws, customer ESG questionnaires and ASHRAE 90.1 energy codes stops being a spreadsheet exercise.
Building performance standards
NYC Local Law 97, Boston BERDO 2.0, Cambridge BEUDO and benchmarking ordinances in Chicago, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Ann Arbor and more. See Building performance laws.
Energy codes
ASHRAE 90.1 and state commercial energy codes require efficient systems and controls; ecoSEMS documents EUI and control performance.
ESG & customer scorecards
Auditable Scope 2 reductions for CDP, EcoVadis, retailer and OEM supplier requirements.
Net-zero roadmaps
Sequenced plans that start with control, add storage and solar, and electrify loads when the grid economics support it.
Renewable energy credits
Registration and handling of renewable energy credits where your project qualifies.
Program alignment
Sustainability projects packaged to capture every program your site qualifies for; ecojiva handles the applications.

Questions
Can ecojiva help us avoid Local Law 97 or BERDO penalties?
Yes. We model your building’s emissions against the applicable caps, identify the measures (controls, storage, solar, electrification) that close the gap, and document the results. See the New York and Massachusetts state pages for the current limits and fines.
What is energy use intensity (EUI)?
EUI is annual energy use per square foot (kBtu/sq ft/yr). Benchmarking laws and ASHRAE 90.1 use it to compare buildings; ecoSEMS calculates and tracks it continuously.
