Joins us on the podcast to discuss the major issues with commercial real estate and energy wastage.

The scale of the challenge:

40% of the built environment is responsible for c.40% of all global CO2 emissions (McKinsey, UNEP, WEF)

76% of emissions from an average building is caused by operations Heating, cooling, lighting are the main contributors

80% of all building stock globally expected to exist in 2050, 80% have already been built

Up to 40% of the energy can be saved if the occupants’ presence/absence is factored into operations (Kim, Srebric)

And companies have barely even started fixing it.
