Sustainability

The estate's energy, carbon and climate exposure — site by site, with its confidence.

Benchmark each site's energy use and rank the measures by payback, see which buildings an EPC deadline will catch, estimate operational and value-chain emissions, score the climate risk and track CSRD readiness datapoint by datapoint.

Figures are estimates from standard factors, each shown with its basis — a starting point for your adviser and auditor, not an assured report.

Early stage
One set of site data, every question. Energy, EPC grades and emissions sit on the sites, so each tool answers its question from the same figures.
The chain

From kilowatt-hours to the sustainability report — on the same site data.

The energy audit feeds the carbon footprint and the EPC review, commute data adds to the emissions, and the climate risk and CSRD readiness sit on the same portfolio.

01
Energy audit
Where are we using too much?
Energy per sqm for every site against a benchmark for its building type, the cost of running above it, and improvement measures ranked by payback.
More about Energy audit ↓
02
EPC compliance
Which buildings will a deadline catch?
Each site's energy rating against the minimum-standard deadlines in its country, the cost of each grade step and the sites without a rating.
More about EPC compliance ↓
03
Carbon footprint
What do we emit in operation?
Scope 1 and 2 from energy and refrigerants, and operational scope 3 from commuting, waste and water — per site, with a reduction roadmap.

Each step in detail

What each step takes in, does and hands on

Sustainability numbers for an estate are usually assembled once a year from whoever has the bills. Every step below works from the same site data instead. Here is what you bring, what each step does and what you get out.

01

Energy audit

Where are we using too much?

Which buildings use more energy than they should, what that costs, and which measures pay back first.

Energy per siteExample
SitekWh / sqmBand
Stockholm HQ118Good
Göteborg142Typical
Uppsala228Poor

Portfolio 145 kWh/sqm. LED lighting and BMS controls pay back in about three years.

You bring

  • Annual energy per site and fuel — electricity, gas, district heating and cooling, oil
  • Area and building type
  • Optionally energy cost, renewable share and a reduction target

What it does

  • Computes energy per sqm per site against a benchmark for the building type
  • Splits emissions by fuel using country grid factors
  • Estimates cost from default tariffs when none is entered
  • Shows what running above benchmark costs
  • Ranks eight measures — LED, BMS, controls, insulation, glazing, heat pump, solar, sub-metering — by saving, capex and payback
  • Draws the path to your target, with a narrative written by AI

What you get

  • Sites ranked by energy use
  • Measures in payback order
  • A trajectory to the target

02

EPC compliance

Which buildings will a deadline catch?

Which buildings a minimum energy standard will catch, and when — while there is still time to upgrade or plan an exit.

Sites by energy ratingExample
2B
5C
4D
2E
1F

One F-rated site is at risk when F is banned in 2033 — deadlines differ by country; check with your adviser.

You bring

  • The energy rating per site
  • The country, for its deadlines
  • Optionally a target rating and lease clauses

What it does

  • Sets each site against its country's ladder of deadlines, marking those still only planned
  • Rates each site compliant, at risk or non-compliant
  • Estimates upgrade cost per grade step
  • Flags sites without a rating as hidden exposure, and exemptions such as listed buildings
  • Writes the review and priorities with AI — advisory, to check with your adviser

What you get

  • Share of sites compliant
  • A site-by-deadline matrix
  • Upgrade priorities with timing

03

Carbon footprint

What do we emit in operation?

What the estate emits in operation, by scope and by site — the baseline every reduction target is measured from.

Emissions in operation, tCO2eExample
Estimated from energy, refrigerants, commuting, waste and water
  • Scope 1 35
  • Scope 2 230
  • Scope 3 (operational) 410
675tCO2e a year
32kg per sqm
14sites

You bring

  • Energy use, from the energy audit
  • Refrigerant types and amounts
  • Waste, water and average commute

What it does

  • Computes scope 2 from energy with country grid factors
  • Estimates scope 1 refrigerant leakage from global-warming potentials
  • Adds operational scope 3 from commuting, waste and water
  • Shows each site's share
  • Sets out a reduction roadmap, written by AI

What you get

  • Emissions by scope
  • A per-site table
  • Reduction targets

04

Scope 3 estimation

What sits in the value chain?

A first, honest estimate of the value chain behind the estate — with the confidence of each number shown, so you know where better data matters.

The value chain, modelledExample
CategorytCO2eConfidence
Purchased services310Medium
Fit-out and IT260Low
Business travel150Medium
Leased assets60Low

About 780 tCO2e. Fit-out has the lowest confidence — better data there moves the total most.

You bring

  • Spend on services
  • Fit-out area and age
  • IT spend and business travel
  • The landlord's share of the building

What it does

  • Models four categories: purchased services, fit-out and IT, business travel and leased assets
  • Spreads fit-out and IT over their life
  • Rates each category's confidence high, medium or low
  • Writes the narrative with AI

What you get

  • A value-chain estimate
  • Where better data would matter most
  • A basis for supplier conversations
Reads: Sites, Carbon footprintFeeds: CSRD readiness
05

Climate risk

What is each site exposed to?

Which sites are exposed to which hazards, and how the transition could hit the portfolio — scored the same way for every site.

The most exposed sitesExample
SiteTop hazardScore
GöteborgFlooding4 / 5
Malmö 2Flooding4 / 5
Stockholm HQExtreme heat2 / 5

Scored from country baselines you can adjust, under a 2 °C scenario.

You bring

  • The sites and their locations
  • What you know locally — flood maps, past events
  • A warming scenario

What it does

  • Scores eight physical hazards — flooding, heat, storms, wildfire, sea level, rising temperature, water stress, subsidence
  • Scores four transition risks — regulation, technology, market, reputation
  • Starts from country baselines you can adjust per site
  • Compares scenarios of 1.5 °C, 2 °C and 3 °C or more
  • Suggests adaptation actions, with AI

What you get

  • A portfolio heat map
  • The exposed sites, first
  • Adaptation actions

Why one chain

The difference between a sustainability report and a plan for the estate

01

From the sites themselves

Energy, ratings and emissions sit on each site, next to its lease and cost — so a poor building shows up in the same place as its break date.

Site by site
02

Estimates, labelled as such

Every figure shows the factor behind it and how confident it is. AI writes the narrative; the numbers are computed.

Transparent
03

One set of data, every question

The energy audit feeds the footprint and the EPC review, and the same portfolio carries the climate risk and the CSRD work.

One source
Who it's for

The people who answer for the estate's footprint

Sustainability lead

A baseline you can build on

Emissions by scope and site, with their confidence, and CSRD readiness datapoint by datapoint.

Head of real estate

Which buildings to fix or leave

Energy above benchmark, EPC deadlines and climate exposure next to each site's lease events.

CFO / reporting

What it costs and when

The cost of running above benchmark, upgrade capex per grade and measures ranked by payback.
