Case Study: CBRE achieves more accurate energy and carbon insights with Integrated Environmental Solutions

CBRE identifies 30-40% energy savings with Integrated Environmental Solutions

The customer CBRE, a major commercial real estate advisory firm, faced the challenge of providing clients with accurate, reliable insights to decarbonize their property portfolios and meet stringent ESG requirements. To move beyond approximations, they turned to vendor Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) and utilized their IES Virtual Environment (VE) software for detailed energy and carbon modelling.

The solution from Integrated Environmental Solutions involved using dynamic, physics-based simulation to create highly accurate models of client buildings. This enabled CBRE to precisely test different optimization strategies, identifying energy savings of up to 30-40% for a typical CapEx of just 1% of the asset's value. The unbiased data also helped bridge conversations between landlords and tenants on cost-sharing for upgrades. CBRE is now expanding its services using additional IES digital twin technology.
