CBRE’s CEC is one of just six buildings in the world that have
earned a Triple LEED Platinum rating. It has also achieved an
Energy Star rating of 99, an impressive achievement for this
facility type and location. The center evaluates new technologies
on behalf of corporate clients, equipment, and technology partners
around the globe.
Capabilities include the ability to track an occupant from
arrival on site to departure, with real-time capability to adjust
air quality, temperature, light, audio, and visual capabilities
based on movement throughout the environment. CBRE|ESI uses an
advanced integration and analytics platform to securely gather and
analyze data from sensors, various building systems, meters, and
other devices. Best practices for network security and
internet-of-things (IoT) design are showcased throughout the
facility.
CBRE|ESI’s CEC also demonstrates the tangible results of cost
reduction and environmental stewardship clients can achieve. The
center itself performed 41% more efficiently than design models had
projected. It also eliminated 223 tons of CO2 (equivalent of
consuming 25,000 gallons of gasoline) in the building’s first year
of occupancy.
“The smart building process, expertise, and technology within
CBRE|ESI create tremendous value for both individual facilities and
global portfolios,” said Bill Concannon, CEO of CBRE’s Global
Workplace Solutions. “We provide transparent assurance to our
clients that their facilities are operating efficiently and
optimally through the right combination of people, process and
technology, while simultaneously enhancing the workplace experience
for their clients and occupants.”
By opening the CBRE|ESI headquarters space to clients as an
experience center, CBRE seeks to show building owners and occupiers
how the blend of intelligent design, advanced technology, proactive
operations planning, and strategic maintenance protocols can be
applied to achieve optimal facilities performance.
CBRE|ESI, whose mission is “smarter buildings, smarter
workplaces,” was founded in 1986 and was acquired by CBRE in 2015.
It employs 70 engineers, designers, developers, and data scientists
who provide solutions for building automation, systems integration,
security, life safety, energy services, and building operations.
Originally operated as a stand-alone service line within CBRE, the
market demand and client interest of Smart Buildings has prompted
the company to integrate CBRE|ESI services into the firm’s Global
Workplace Solutions enterprise facilities management offering.
