Data-driven decisions for green real estate strategies
The Zug-based real estate investment manager Empira will be using Optiml's Real Estate Decision Intelligence platform in future. Its aim is to consistently implement its transition-to-green investment strategy and secure long-term value creation.
Empiraintends to utilise Zurich-basedOptimI’s Real Estate Decision Intelligence (REDI) to strengthen data-driven decision-making in the areas of investment, funds, asset management and sustainability management. According to a statement, the aim is to develop an integrated approach that holistically combines financial performance, climate impact and regulatory requirements. OptimI’s REDI platform supports Empira in making informed investment decisions, developing scientifically sound decarbonisation pathways at fund and asset level, and planning capital-efficient investment and refurbishment strategies.
Empira uses the platform in particular in the context of its Transition to Green Fund, which targets energy-inefficient properties with repositioning potential and utilises government incentives for green refurbishments and comprehensive asset management to create high-quality, sustainable residential and office properties.
“Digital decision intelligence is essential today to achieve both stable returns and credible decarbonisation, starting from the moment we receive an initial investment memorandum,” said Torsten Bergmann, Vice President of Investment Advisory at Empira. “Optiml provides us with the analytical depth we need to achieve consistent, scalable impact across all our funds and supports our transition-to-green strategy with reliable decision-making processes.”
According to the announcement, the introduction of the OptimI solution underscores the industry trend toward data-driven asset optimisation, in which sustainability and financial performance are assessed holistically. The real estate sector is responsible for around 40 per cent of total energy-related CO2 emissions worldwide. Industry players are therefore increasingly obliged to present credible and financially robust decarbonisation strategies.
