Pioneering cloud-based software for the built environment
CO2 Estates offers a software platform for delivering commercial real estate improvement analysis to determine retrofit strategies for mitigating risk and improving financial performance of commercial real estate by:
- Reducing risk associated with inefficient property within the context of climate change
- Improving asset investment performance, reduce operation costs and increase value
- Cost effectively generating strategic energy reduction scenarios
- Expediting and safeguarding transaction processes and open up site specific retrofit opportunities
CO2 Estates is transforming the way commercial real estate looks at energy efficiency improvements. We started our journey in 2009 with an idea and a rented desk in central Scotland. Since then, we’ve grown into one of the leading software providers to the UK real estate market, working with some of the world’s largest property investors.
Together with our clients and their customers, we’re saving energy, saving money, and helping reduce carbon emissions.
