More broadly, the subject of ESG (Environmental Social Governance) is becoming increasingly important in the real estate sector. Across the globe, governments, organisations and individuals are pushing to reduce their carbon footprint. This drive has been particularly helped by new regulations and policies.

For a building or a real estate fund, the environmental component of ESG strategies often focuses on reducing energy consumption and therefore CO2 emissions. This involves carrying out an energy audit to identify high-energy consumption items and areas for improvement. For office buildings, the social aspect focuses particularly on the well-being and comfort of the building's occupants by encouraging soft mobility, offering adapted services and activities around the common areas, and ensuring accessibility for all.

In order to better improve how equipment is managed and to help support our approach to reducing energy consumption, there is a real need to share an optimal amount of data with tenants.
