Closing Insights
A distinctive aspect of GRITS is its purpose-built support for Green Revolving Funds (GRFs). GRITS began as the Green Revolving Investment Tracking System and, uniquely, lets institutions track both project investments and repayments alongside energy, cost, and carbon savings, streamlining GRF accounting and showing how savings finance future work.
In a notable use case, the Facilities and Engineering department at American University uses GRITS via a public GRITS Dashboard to track all campus energy-projects showing how project performance and financial flows are integrated. GRITS is not limited to North America: the project’s support pages note active users in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and invite inquiries from other regions. This makes the platform relevant to institutions with international campuses or partnerships that still need consistent project-level governance and reporting.
Whether you’re managing a green revolving fund, planning retrofits, or preparing for building performance standard (BPS) compliance, GRITS offers a unified platform to track project investments, savings, and impact, helping you meet regulatory deadlines and integrate financial and performance metrics.
