The Challenge
The
Emissions
Crisis
Commercial real estate accounts for a staggering share of global carbon output — yet the tools to manage and reduce these emissions remain fragmented, manual, and inaccessible.
01 —
Massive Carbon Footprint
Commercial buildings drive nearly 40% of global GHG emissions. Regulatory pressure is intensifying, yet most owners lack real-time visibility into their exposure or compliance status.
02 —
No Centralized Platform
Owners juggle disconnected spreadsheets, manual audits, and siloed consultant reports. There's no unified system to track performance, benchmark against peers, or simulate retrofit scenarios.
03 —
Complex Decision-Making
Every retrofit involves tangled financial trade-offs, physical risk assessments, lease constraints, and long-term planning — requiring expensive experts at every step.

Key Features
Six
Core
Modules
Six integrated modules guide asset owners from initial data input to a fully costed, floor-level retrofit transition plan.
01
🏢
Property Data Management
Ingest and structure building details, GHG emissions data, lease agreements, utility consumption, and financial records into a verified, auditable baseline.
02
📊
Current State Analysis
Automated evaluation of building performance — surfacing emissions intensity, energy efficiency scores, and regulatory gap analysis through visual dashboards.
03
⚖️
Peer Benchmarking
Compare against major asset owners — BlackRock, Embassy REIT, Brookfield — to understand relative positioning and identify what top performers do differently.
04
🎯
Target Setting
Define custom 5-year sustainability commitments aligned to net-zero pathways. Visualize milestones and track actuals vs. commitments in real time.
05
⚠️
Physical Risk Assessment
Evaluate exposure to climate-related physical risks — flooding, extreme heat, energy volatility — to prioritize which assets need the most urgent capital intervention.
06
🏗️
Transition Planning & Floor-Level Customization
Build a complete retrofit roadmap with granular floor-by-floor control. Assign individual strategies per floor — HVAC, envelope, lighting. Simulate emissions impact in real time. Compare scenarios side-by-side before committing capital.

User Flow
Seven
Steps to
Sustainability
Every user journey follows a structured path — from login through to a fully simulated, floor-level transition plan. Each step builds on the last.
01
Entry Point
Login & Authentication
Users securely access their RetrofitX workspace. New users are guided through portfolio onboarding. Existing users land on a personalized dashboard summarizing their portfolio's current state.

Risk Intelligence
Physical Risk Assessment
The platform evaluates each property's exposure to climate-related physical risks: extreme heat, flood probability, energy price volatility, and stranded asset risk. Outputs help prioritize which buildings require the most urgent intervention.

Execution Planning
Transition Planning & Floor Customization
The final and most powerful step. Users build a complete retrofit transition plan with granular floor-by-floor customization. Each floor is assigned its own strategy. Real-time simulation projects the emissions impact of every decision. Multiple scenarios are compared side-by-side before a single dollar is spent.

Product UI
Screen-by-
Screen
Representative interfaces from the RetrofitX product — each with context for what the screen is for. Previews expand to the full height of each mockup.
Data collection — block view
Structured capture of building data by block or wing: areas, systems, occupancy, and meter boundaries. This view keeps bulk entry efficient before users move to finer floor-level detail.
Data collection — floor view
Floor-by-floor inputs mirror how operators think about tenancies and MEP zones. Completing this layer feeds accurate baselines for retrofit scenarios and regulatory reporting.
Current state
A consolidated read on how the asset performs today: scores, gaps versus policy, and headline KPIs. Designed so executives and asset managers align on “where we are” before debating “where we go.”
Current state emissions
Scope-level breakdowns and charts tie activity data to tCO₂e. Teams use this screen to spot drivers of intensity and to validate that ingested data produces sensible totals.
Peer benchmarking
Compares the portfolio to selected peers and market references. Relative ranking and gap callouts make it clear which metrics lag best-in-class and deserve program attention.
Target setting
Users define science-aligned or custom reduction targets and see trajectory against a baseline. Milestones and years are explicit so progress can be tracked through each budget cycle.
Physical risk
Climate hazard signals—flood, heat, wind, and related stress—surface per property to inform capex prioritization and disclosure. Risk bands connect abstract models to actionable asset planning.
