🌎 Real Estate and Climate: Fast Facts

• The real estate sector is responsible for approximately 39% of global carbon emissions. (World Green Building Council)
• Operational emissions from building energy use account for 28% of those emissions.
• Integrating smart building technologies can cut energy consumption by up to 30%. (U.S. Department of Energy)

Real estate sustainability is no longer a choice — it’s a necessity.
But achieving true environmental impact demands more than eco-friendly construction; it demands intelligent, connected building operations.
That’s where Cloud-Native Building Management Systems (BMS) step in — redefining how buildings operate and perform for a greener future.

How Cloud-Native BMS is Transforming Real Estate Sustainability

1. Real-Time Energy Optimization

Traditional BMS solutions operate in silos and often deliver insights reactively.
Cloud-Native BMS platforms enable:

• Live monitoring of energy, HVAC, lighting, and water usage
• Automated adjustments based on occupancy, climate conditions, and load demands
• Predictive analytics to prevent energy waste before it happens

✅ Impact:

• Lower operational carbon footprint
• Reduced utility costs
• Smarter, responsive buildings

2. Scalability for Evolving Green Goals

As sustainability benchmarks rise and building portfolios expand, flexibility is critical.

Cloud-native systems allow:

• Seamless addition of assets — new equipment, new buildings, new geographies
• Remote updates and integrations without physical interventions
• Cross-site visibility through a centralized platform

✅ Impact:

• Scale ESG initiatives effortlessly
• Future-proof operations for emerging green standards

3. Water and Resource Conservation

Sustainability isn’t just about energy — water conservation and material stewardship matter too.

Cloud-native BMS solutions help:

• Detect and mitigate water leaks early
• Optimize cooling tower operations and irrigation schedules
• Track resource consumption across building assets

✅ Impact:

• Reduced water waste
• Enhanced indoor environmental quality
• Lowered operational costs

4. Data-Driven ESG Reporting

Green certifications and investors today demand transparent, verifiable ESG performance data.

A cloud-native BMS provides:

• Automatic tracking of energy, water, carbon emissions, and IAQ (Indoor Air Quality)
• Ready-to-use reports for LEED, WELL, GRESB, and other sustainability standards
• Customizable dashboards for different stakeholders (facility teams, sustainability officers, CXOs)

✅ Impact:

• Streamlined ESG audits
• Stronger sustainability narratives
• Improved asset valuation

5. Remote Management for Resilience

Remote workforces, energy emergencies, and climate events have made remote building control a critical feature.

With cloud-native capabilities, facility managers can:

• Operate and monitor buildings anytime, anywhere
• Respond to emergencies faster
• Optimize operations even with reduced on-site staff

✅ Impact:

• Increased building resilience
• Continuous sustainability efforts without disruption
