If we were to line up all of the lessons we need to learn about sustainability in real estate, it would make for an endless, often damning, parade. But, what if there is just one lesson which negates the need for us to transmit all of the others? Wouldn't that make the whole idea of sustainability more palatable? I'm talking, of course, about profit.

When an airports HVAC system consumes 60-70% of it's energy, building analytics can have a particularly powerful impact on energy consumption. Building data analytics transforms airport operations by providing real-time visibility and insight into equipment performance, customer comfort, and environmental conditions.

Achieving higher environmental ratings by increasing the efficiency of your buildings results in a suite of extra benefits for owners and operators. Of those benefits, increased asset valuation, happier tenants, accountable contractors and industry recognition tops the list for building owner Bill Jenkins.

By applying a smart, data-driven approach to your carbon neutrality journey, you can benefit from more than just energy savings and improved outcomes across the entire spectrum of your building operations management while driving up the profitability of your asset.

We’re kicking off a CIM podcast series this week covering some of the hot topics in building operations management. As such, we thought it fitting to start with a subject that is close to our hearts - the environment.

I’m excited to announce we’ve changed our name from CIM Enviro to CIM. We’ve also updated our logo, look and feel and renamed ACE—our award-winning building analytics platform—to PEAK. I want to share the reasons why.

I was stoked to have my article published in The Sydney Morning Herald discussing how machine learning and automation are giving REITS more control. As more property owners leverage simple-to-understand building intelligence, machine learning and mechanical engineering into their day-to-day operations, they will see massive improvements in their efficiency, productivity and sustainability across property portfolios.

In the eight weeks I’ve been with CIM Enviro, I have experienced firsthand the sky-rocketing growth this Australian-founded company is undergoing. As we continue to grow, I thought it would be interesting to take a look back at the environmental metrics we’ve delivered as we put sustainability at the fore.

David tells me that his confidence comes from his admission that he isn’t that smart. He’s the type of leader that isn’t afraid to take on the harder stuff and learn and will sit in the back, helping those in front of him to achieve their best. He’s accepted that he needs other people to succeed, which in turn has become his strength.

Paul Walsh has been witness to CIM Enviro’s growth for five years - from an idea in his brother’s head to the success that it is today. He describes CIM Enviro’s CEO and his younger brother David’s passion and drive to address climate change as ‘contagious’ - it is a value he shares.
