Case Study: FREO achieves major capex and carbon reductions with Optiml

FREO reduces retrofit Capex by 30% with Optiml

FREO Group, an independent European investor and asset manager of commercial real estate, faced a time-consuming and manual process for analyzing complex building renovations. They struggled to connect costing and energy simulations with sustainable technologies, which slowed down their Capex and decarbonization planning. To address these inefficiencies, FREO implemented Optiml's "Integrated Planning" tier service.

Using Optiml, FREO was able to model the building as a digital twin and run detailed energy simulations to compare different retrofitting scenarios. This allowed them to provide precise, component-level recommendations. The results were significant: Optiml helped FREO reduce Capex spend by over 30%, lower operational CO₂ emissions by more than 70%, and cut analysis time by over 80% for a deep renovation project.
