10 Steps

Carbon Zero Real Estate


CRE Sustainability Market Drivers

 

Enterprise commitment to net-zero carbon emissions goals has been pervasive across the corporate ecosystem

Calls from consumers and investors for transparency around climate impact and emissions have grown increasingly louder

Regulatory mandates governing emissions have already entered the largest commercial markets, including state and local laws in the US

 

Step 1

Measure Energy Intensity Across Entire Real Estate Portfolio

  • Connect - electric, gas, & steam meters and Energy Star Portfolio Manager.

  • Visualize - historical and real-time meter data.

  • Track and Measure - performance goals.


Step 2

Measure Carbon Emissions Across Entire Real Estate Portfolio

  • Calculate and visualize - your historical and real-time carbon emissions in real-time.

  • AI/ML predictions - of your daily, monthly, and annual carbon emissions forecasts for sustainability and ESG planning.

  • Benchmark - your portfolio’s best and poor-performing buildings.

  • Regulatory compliance and exposure analysis - against internal corporate mandates and goals.

 

Step 3

Track All Your Energy Reduction Project ROI

  • Measure and verify - to track and evaluate energy savings projects within your building in real-time.

  • Track - projects’ KPIs of energy and dollars savings, GHG reductions, and ROI.

  • Measure - the accuracy and efficacy of energy conservation measures (ECMs).

  • Adhere to industry standards - such as IPMVP and ASHRAE Guideline 14.


Step 4

Automate Benchmark & Sustainability Reporting

  • Analyze and download - energy reports vetted by industry experts. 

  • Create custom reports - as per the evolving needs of the stakeholders.

  • Share - reports for transparency and visibility.


Step 5

A.I. Occupancy-Based Energy Reduction Automation

  • Calculated startup - Use the least amount of energy to reach desired interior comfort levels.

  • Mid-day ramps - As occupants leave and enter the building zones, Nantum OS adjusts your BMS to reduce energy consumption while maintaining indoor comfort.

  • End of day ramp down - Nantum correlates a building’s thermal inertia with end-of-day occupancy to ramp down the BMS as people leave the building, all in real-time.


Step 6

Time Of Use Automation For Distributed Energy Resources

  • Connect - revenue-grade meters directly from solar, wind, and on-site building batteries / thermal storage.

  • Visualize - the on-site generated and stored energy.

  • Benchmark and predict - the energy generation performance.

  • Automate - load shedding during high demand or demand response periods.


Step 7

Automate Peak Demand Charge Cost Avoidance For Renewable Procurement Cost Offset

  • Reduce peak demand charges - which can represent more than 50% of the average monthly electric bill. 

  • Gamify - the “do not cross” peak demand benchmark in real-time.

  • Automate actions - that limit peak demand charges without compromising occupancy comfort.


Step 8

Automate Demand Response Revenue For Renewable Procurement Cost Offset

  • Automate - the demand response efforts to maximize your DR revenue.

  • Leverage the OpenADR protocol - to trigger and execute events based on the utility’s signal.

  • Track and manage - your portfolio’s demand response efforts in a single view.

  • Automate the actions - during an event based on building data and performance.


Step 9

Procure Renewable Energy & Tokenize Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)

  • Trace - the energy consumed to the original source.

  • Track - the amount of RECs that have been purchased over a specific period of time. 

  • Correlate - RECs with demand / consumption data.

  • Prove - energy consumption and energy sources based on an immutable, blockchain technology.


Step 10

Utilize Carbon Accounting To Validate Carbon Reduction

  • Capture provable and verified energy and environmental data.

  • Enable accurate energy and environmental reporting following standards such as SASB, TCFD, and New York City’s Climate Mobilization Act (Local Law 97).

  • Track progress toward decarbonization goals and disclosure reporting.

  • Enables the path to tokenize RECs and trade credits across the portfolio.
