Case Study: Large Canadian Real Estate Company achieves 15% utility cost reduction and 32% carbon emissions reduction with Brightly Software's Stream

Large Canadian Real Estate Company leverages Brightly Stream to create and manage a sustainability program for their $30 billion portfolio.

A large Canadian real estate company managing US$30 billion in assets and 35 million square feet across 69 landmark properties struggled to scale its sustainability program because it relied on spreadsheets, manual submeter calculations, and increasingly frequent reporting requests. As the portfolio grew into industrial and residential assets and stakeholders demanded higher-quality, more frequent emissions data, the team needed an automated, scalable solution.

The company implemented Brightly Stream to automate data collection (200+ connectors), separate tenant and building energy, bulk upload bills, and track fuels and refrigerants. The platform eliminated manual tasks, improved reporting and buy-in, and delivered measurable ROI: a 15% reduction in utility costs, a 32% reduction in carbon emissions over 10 years, and an average 18-point ENERGY STAR score improvement.
