Why Smart Building Certification Matters for ESG

Green buildings demonstrate lower emissions, higher efficiency, and better occupant well-being—key metrics in ESG performance scoring.

Institutional investors increasingly prefer assets with green certifications, as they align with SFDR, EU Taxonomy, and GRESB disclosure requirements.

Smart analyzers help maintain certification continuity and uncover hidden upgrade opportunities across large portfolios.

Real-Time Data Streams and Benchmarks

Analyzers ingest IoT and sensor data (energy, water, occupancy) as well as facilities management platforms (CMMS, BMS, HVAC systems).

They benchmark performance against global peers using regional climate-adjusted standards and historical portfolio performance.

Data is visualized via ESG dashboards shared with stakeholders and ESG ratings agencies.
