We use data management platforms and technologies to provide advanced analytics and insights to inform and improve our performance. We partner with a leading energy analysis firm to review energy supply, demand, budgets, and cost assessments to plan accordingly for energy supply and current and future renewable sources. We leverage industry-recognized frameworks and standards, including GRESB, SASB, TCFD, SBTi, and GRI to inform our strategy and evaluate progress against our goals. Annually, we calculate GHG emissions in alignment with the WRI GHG Protocol. We utilize software platforms that produce key insights and analytics of BMS data to provide Real Time Energy Management (RTEM) analytics, platforms for automated interval level meter data, and tenant payment capabilities. It also provides real-time metering for real-time energy consumption, demand response software programs with real-time peak load management, and energy and water consumption across the portfolio for ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.
