A low-carbon future is not only a societal imperative but also an economic one. Energy transition investments have so far been mainly focused on renewable energy, energy storage, and electrified transport. Real estate, which is a fragmented world, has been a bit on the periphery of the energy turnaround. However, given the long lifecycle of buildings and their significant contribution to global warming, the commercial real estate sector has a critical role to play in the energy transition. Against this background, CREs are looking to integrate cost-effective digital solutions that will reduce their organization’s carbon footprint while ensuring a high ROI. With real-time energy data from IoT devices, such as submeters, sensors, and other smart assets, coupled with advanced analytics, CREs can now significantly improve energy efficiency across their building portfolios.
