INTRODUCTION

Leadership ESRT participates in thought leadership and pilots new strategies and technologies that provide data for decisions and a blueprint for action in the real estate industry. We measure progress against our goals consistently and holistically. We utilize an array of sensors, automation platforms, and real-time metered data. Our advanced data management facilitates understanding of consumption and performance, identifies areas of opportunity, and verifies successful measures. We leverage our portfolio as a dynamic, living laboratory, where we pilot technologies designed to push our industry forward. We reduce the potential for future problems for our portfolio through physical and operational resilience strategies in every building, and we amplify and disseminate that knowledge in an open-source format so others can learn from our experience.
