Energy Data API for Canada
Buyers see square footage and bedrooms, but not what a home costs to run. Neighbourly joins verified utility consumption to listings, benchmarked locally and ready for the listing page.
Verified utility data — the missing data point on every listing.
- Verified consumption via Green Button partnerships — not modeled estimates
- Efficiency score, monthly cost projection and neighbourhood benchmark
- Built around explicit homeowner consent and provincial privacy law

Energy Data API — common questions
What is the Energy Data API?
It joins verified utility consumption data to listings — giving buyers the missing data point of what a home actually costs to run, benchmarked locally and ready for the listing page.
Where does the energy data come from?
Verified utility data via Green Button partnerships and direct utility channels — actual consumption, not modeled estimates.
What does the energy layer output?
An energy efficiency score, a monthly cost projection and a neighbourhood benchmark — all listing-page ready.
How is privacy handled for energy data?
It's built around explicit homeowner consent and provincial privacy law, and exposes aggregated, listing-appropriate insights — never raw consumption data.
What is the coverage for energy data?
Coverage is strongest in Ontario and expanding nationally with utility-partner rollout and provincial disclosure programs.
How is the energy layer accessed?
It's available as an add-on on the Professional and Enterprise plans — self-serve for real estate use cases, with an underwriting agreement for lender and insurance use.
