CBRE
From Complex Energy Data to Clear Recommendations
CBRE offers a wide range of services within property operations, technical property management, and strategic energy management. With deep expertise in energy and sustainability, CBRE helps its clients reduce costs, lower climate impact, and make better investment decisions based on data.
The challenge – before BIM Energy
Previously, CBRE’s energy specialists worked with multiple different tools, manual analyses, and local ways of working. Data was pulled from various systems and often had to be reprocessed for each analysis, with each energy expert having their own preferred approach.
BIM Energy as a shared platform
Through BIM Energy, CBRE – led by Kim Edoff – has established a common, structured way of working with energy data. BIM Energy functions as an analytics platform where buildings, energy systems, and operational data come together in a single model. This has delivered:
· A shared language for energy between engineers, energy experts, and clients
· Faster and more comparable analyses across entire property portfolios
· The ability to simulate measures and prioritize the right action at the right time
The result – deeper insights in record time
Today, CBRE can combine its operational experience and energy expertise with the analytical power of BIM Energy. Together, this enables:
· Data-driven recommendations with high precision
· Shorter time from identified opportunity to concrete business decision
· Clearer communication of energy performance and savings potential to clients
