FAQ | Energy Efficiency and Reducing Your CO2 Emissions

Mastering CO2 Emissions, Reducing Energy Costs

To reduce its environmental impact and meet sustainability goals, the “energy” factor is one of the key levers to activate. Indeed, improving the energy efficiency of a building or real estate portfolio helps reduce energy consumption (electricity, gas, water, etc.), and consequently, lowers the energy bill. It also enhances occupant comfort, increases the property’s market value, and promotes more sustainable practices across the entire company or local authority network.

How to Establish an Energy Strategy?

Implementing an energy transition strategy involves several steps:

1. Conduct an energy assessment through an energy audit or diagnostic to understand how the building consumes energy and its impacts (carbon emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, air quality, etc.). For this, using an energy management platform is essential at the scale of a real estate portfolio.
2. When possible, reduce fossil fuel usage by prioritizing renewable energy sources.

How to Improve Energy Performance?

When implementing an energy strategy, it’s important to rely on an energy consumption monitoring tool, like Savee, Advizeo’s energy tracking software.

In addition to centralizing all your data (IoT, sub-meters, invoices, etc.), using Savee allows you to quickly identify consumption deviations across your real estate portfolio, measure, monitor, and analyze your entire energy usage. With real-time monitoring, you can easily spot optimization opportunities and create relevant, effective action plans.

Here are some actions you can take in your buildings to achieve energy savings:

• Raise awareness among building occupants to adopt more eco-responsible behaviors.
• Adjust the temperature of your heating and cooling equipment (according to ADEME, reducing heating by 1°C can lead to 7% savings).
• Check the scheduling of HVAC systems and lighting to ensure they are adapted to the building’s usage.
