Foundations of resilient real estate

Have your say: GRI survey on ESG in real estate

Redefine the future of resilient real estate by participating in a joint survey from BuildingMinds and GRI Club, exploring ESG and compliance readiness across the industry.

BuildingMinds goes international

Through a partnership with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we will be able to integrate directly with the Energy Star Portfolio Manager. In addition, by the end of Q2 2024, we will implement a workflow to address the critical French reporting requirement Décret Tertiaire.

Retrofitting real estate is the challenge of a generation

According to JLL, approximately 80% of today's buildings will remain in use for the next 50 years. Yet, only 3.5% are planned for retrofit, far below the amount needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Given the limited pool of capital available for investment, how can asset owners or asset managers effectively take action to elevate their buildings to a higher standard?

Leveraging AI to tackle the challenge

BuildingMinds developed a machine learning-driven Retrofit Recommender to guide stakeholders in identifying capital improvement areas in buildings. Using data from 1,000 real retrofits, it quickly calculates CapEx needs and energy savings, helping users assess options for boosting property value, extending building lifespan, and improving energy efficiency. By Q4, the tool will optimize recommendations across portfolio.
