Real estate group advances portfolio‑wide efficiency and integration

One of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups needed a unified view of building performance across its portfolio. With data fragmented across 12 BMS platforms and multiple equipment and CCTV systems, the real estate group used Open Blue Equipment Performance and OpenBlue Workplace to consolidate data, simplify reporting, strengthen coordination, and identify cost‑saving opportunities.

Integrating fragmented systems across a large portfolio

The real estate group managed data from 12 different building management system platforms, CCTV systems, and equipment sources. Disconnected systems made it difficult to compare performance, identify issues, or coordinate activities across vendors. The organization needed a consolidated view to reduce maintenance costs, simplify reporting, and support centralized oversight.

Unified analytics strengthens visibility and building performance

The real estate group adopted a single analytics approach that brought together data from 12 BMS platforms along with equipment and CCTV information. OpenBlue Equipment Performance supported evaluation of equipment condition and energy use, while OpenBlue Workplace helped streamline facility operations and reporting.

Automated reports provided consistent information for leadership and operations teams. Portfolio reviews and collaboratively developed fault‑detection rules improved issue identification and supported decisions that contributed to reduced maintenance and energy use. This approach enabled more consistent performance across the portfolio.

Early cost avoidance with potential for further savings

By consolidating system data and applying performance analytics, the real estate group improved daily operations and identified significant cost reductions. While the deployment occurred over a short time frame, early use showed measurable savings and additional opportunities for improvement across the portfolio.

Outcomes include:

  • 15% reduction in energy use against the baseline
  • ~$500K energy cost avoidance within the initial deployment period
  • Projected >$5M in savings across five years
  • Cost savings through energy efficiencies and integration of 12 BMS platforms
  • Automated integration of equipment & CCTV data into one platform
  • Automated and customized reporting improved visibility for leadership across energy use, maintenance activity and facility operations
