Scaler's Guide & Tools to Navigate ESPM Uncertainty

Safeguard Your ESPM Data

Free Backups and Access via the Scaler Collection Portal

Scaler is a proud partner of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and fully supports its continued operation. We believe ESPM remains a vital tool for benchmarking, compliance, and energy performance tracking. In light of recent concerns around the platform’s long-term future, Scaler is here to help you navigate the uncertainty with confidence. We offer free ESPM data backup and access to our Collection Portal to ensure your ESPM data remains secure, uninterrupted, and accessible.
