How it Works – ReportZero

Report Zero connects to the systems already operating your data centres, standardises telemetry using recognised ISO and EN methods, and presents a clear, comparable view of performance across every site.

It removes manual reporting effort, provides consistent calculations, and gives teams the confidence to make decisions based on accurate, portfolio-wide insight.

A clear method built for complex estates

Organisations already collect valuable telemetry across BMS, EMS, DCIM and ITSM platforms, but each system measures and interprets data differently. This makes it difficult to establish a single, reliable view of environmental performance or compare one site to another.

Report Zero sits above these tools as a decision layer, unifying data, applying consistent standards, and presenting metrics that support operations, sustainability teams and leadership.

Everything in the platform follows a simple, transparent flow:

Collect
Calculate
Understand
Act

Collect

Use the systems you already trust

Report Zero connects securely to your existing operational systems and collects real-time data without changing how those systems work. All connections are read-only and fully encrypted.

It captures data on power, cooling, water, fuel and environmental conditions directly from the source, providing a complete picture of how each site is performing.

This gives organisations a continuous, accurate stream of facility data across every location in the estate.

Calculate

Apply the correct standards every time

Once collected, all data is processed using the methodologies defined in ISO 30134 and EN50600. This produces accurate, repeatable and comparable metrics across sites, regions and technologies.

Calculations follow the same method for every location. Differences in equipment, suppliers or monitoring systems do not affect the results.

This creates a single set of defensible metrics the organisation can rely on for reporting, audit and planning.

Understand

See performance clearly across the portfolio

Standardised data enables a clear view of how sites are performing, individually and collectively. Report Zero highlights trends, anomalies and performance gaps, showing where action is needed and where the estate is operating efficiently.

It also enables meaningful comparison between locations, technologies and regions, something that is often difficult to achieve with spreadsheets or platform-specific dashboards.

This provides operators, sustainability leads and leadership with shared, evidence-based insight.

Act

Report with confidence and target improvement

Report Zero supports action across two areas: regulatory reporting and operational improvement. The platform generates audit-ready outputs aligned to the EED, CSRD, EU AI Act, ISO 30134 and EN 50600.

It also provides clear portfolio dashboards that support planning, investment and measurable reduction of energy use, emissions and water consumption. This makes environmental performance easier to manage, easier to communicate and easier to improve.

A simple architecture

This reflects Report Zero’s role as the decision layer for data-centre energy and environmental reporting.

A practical example

If a facility’s cooling performance begins to drift, Report Zero identifies the change, highlights the variance against comparable sites and surfaces the impact on energy, water and carbon.

Teams can act on this insight immediately, backed by a clear calculation method and a complete audit trail.
