Building a better world together
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It is a framework used to evaluate the sustainability and ethical impact of a company or investment. Environmental factors refer to a company’s impact on the planet, such as its carbon footprint and use of natural resources. Social factors focus on how a company treats its employees, stakeholders, and communities, including diversity, labor rights, and community engagement. Governance relates to a company’s leadership, ethics, and transparency in decision-making. In simpler terms, ESG is a way of assessing how well a company balances its environmental responsibilities, treats people fairly, and operates with integrity and good governance.
Optec goes beyond typical annual or quarterly reporting with our monthly BuildingFax™ report, which informs you of the ongoing health of your mechanical systems, tracks the water and energy intensity of your properties, and shows opportunities for optimization. By receiving this information monthly and in conjunction with the integration into service platforms for continuous monitoring, you have the greatest chance of reducing costs and meeting your energy and water usage goals.
No matter how large or small your portfolio, the local benchmarking laws that apply to each of your assets can be difficult track. Complete whole-building data can be hard to collect, submission requirements vary by jurisdiction, and the fees for noncompliance can be costly. Our team manages annual benchmarking for you from data collection and validation through submission to ensure you are always in compliance and you never miss a deadline.
Beyond basic benchmarking ordinances, many local jurisdictions have passed or are passing alternate energy and sustainability-related ordinances, such as energy audit requirements, building performance standards, or greenhouse gas emissions limits. We track these additional regulations for your portfolio and inform you of necessary next steps to ensure that you stay in compliance with these laws. We also research and track upcoming new regulations to ensure that you don’t miss any new requirements.
Our team is here to help you at every step of your sustainability journey, including helping you determine reasonable resource reduction targets and setting up the roadmap to help you get there. We not only help clients track their sustainability targets at the property and portfolio levels, but we provide actionable solutions to make your desired reductions a reality.
Optec offers constant commissioning and issue resolution for mechanical systems through our partnership with NGage, an alliance of nationwide contractors. Our monitoring technology detects and resolves electrical and mechanical issues proactively, resulting in energy and cost savings. Additionally, properties with NGage demonstrated 37% higher energy savings compared to similar properties without the NGage system in our largest portfolio.
With Optec’s vigilant monitoring, your building data is constantly compared to a curated library of building efficiency projects. Discover tailored opportunities to save energy and reduce emissions that align perfectly with your building's unique conditions, accompanied by actionable steps to implement.
