From various directions, increasing pressure is building on real estate managers and building owners to improve sustainability. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to speed up this process and approach it in a more financially efficient way.
During this powertalk, Demian Roelofs from Eneco GroenGebouw™ shares the latest developments in the sustainability of commercial real estate. You will gain insight into how data and AI are used to monitor, analyse and purposefully optimise energy use. But above all, you will see how the AItool runs multiple scenarios for your buildings, including:
- Impact on returns and portfolio value
- Potential energy savings per measure
- Reduction in energy costs in the short and long term
- CO₂ reduction and contribution to sustainability goals
- Optimal investment sequence for maximum impact
Using practical examples, we show how organisations use data and AI to substantiate decisions and prioritise measures—aiming, among other things, to make energy and CO₂ impact transparent and tackle sustainability in a structured manner (outcomes depend on building characteristics, use and the data entered).
