The customer

BTB REIT is a Canadian real estate investment trust specializing in acquisition, management and enhancement of commercial properties including office buildings, shopping centers and industrial assets. In a context where ESG criteria are becoming increasingly important in real estate management, BTB seeks to improve the environmental performance of its portfolio, while maintaining the attractiveness and value of its assets.

Challenges and objectives

BTB wanted to structure its environmental approach and better understand the energy performance of its buildings to identify improvement opportunities. The objective was twofold: maintain and improve the environmental certifications of certain buildings, while developing a decarbonization strategy across the real estate portfolio.

Our solution

We supported BTB through a structured approach, combining energy audits, environmental analyses and strategic decarbonization planning.

The main interventions included:

Conducting energy audits as part of BOMA BEST certification
Analyzing the energy performance of the real estate portfolio
Conducting indoor air quality tests
Water consumption audits
Developing a decarbonization plan covering the entire real estate portfolio
Identifying and prioritizing GHG emission reduction measures

Results achieved

Alignment with ESG Objectives

The audits and analyses conducted allow BTB to support their ESG strategy with a concrete quantified action plan for reducing GHG emissions.

Energy performance improvement

The analyses identified several energy optimization opportunities for mechanical systems and building operations.

Real Estate Portfolio Enhancement

The BOMA BEST certifications and the identified energy efficiency strategy contribute to strengthening the attractiveness of the buildings and their value.
