Commercial real estate energy solutions funded through energy savings.

Octus develops and finances smart energy efficiency projects that significantly reduce commercial and industrial building energy costs through the implementation of energy-efficient lighting, building envelope, building operational, energy management and HVAC solutions. Octus orchestrates and manages the funding of energy efficiency improvements through a combination of increased cash flow from energy savings, incentives from utility companies, and financing from third-parties.

Building owners and managers collaborate with Octus to invest in energy efficiency projects to reduce their energy use and lower operating costs. Such investments:

• Increase net operating income (NOI);

• Enhance the value of their real estate assets;

• Command higher rental rates; and,

• Increase occupancy due to the property’s more efficient operation.

When asset managers optimize energy use in their portfolios, they generate superior risk-adjusted returns in comparison to acquiring new real estate or making other facility improvements.
