Commercial buildings are often plagued by hidden energy costs due to inefficient operations, outdated systems, and unpredictable occupancy patterns. Studies show that on average, up to 30% of energy in commercial properties is wasted—an inefficiency that can quickly erode profits. As real estate managers search for sustainable solutions, AI-driven technology has emerged as a game-changer. Solutions like R8 Jenny are specifically designed to detect inefficiencies, optimize energy consumption, and provide real-time adjustments, driving energy savings on average more than 20%.

What would happen if we banished the high energy prices ourselves, as in controlled and curbed them to a significant extent? Such a statement may seem somewhat unrealistic to a bystander, but having been deeply involved in energy efficiency issues in commercial real estate for the past 5 years, I dare say that, at least for commercial real estate, it is anything but utopian. In fact, it is a matter of reducing energy consumption, which has a direct impact on energy costs.
But to begin with, did you know that as much as 18% of the world’s energy is spent on managing commercial real estate? And that 41% of that is spent on heating, cooling and ventilation?
This is an enourmous amount of energy, which, incidentally, in line with the climate neutrality targets set in the European Union, must

In real estate, as in so many other things, safety must come first. That’s why we have so many regulations and standards for construction, especially for large complex commercial buildings.

The best technologies have been installed in the building and the most experienced technical teams have been hired to run the systems in the most efficient way.
