Real estate isn’t just where we live and work—it’s one of the biggest levers we have for combating climate change. Responsible for nearly 40% of global emissions, the industry’s transformation is essential to achieving climate goals. The challenge? Decarbonising buildings without sacrificing economic viability. Predium is proving it can be done.
The Problem
The real estate sector is facing intense scrutiny as regulatory and market pressures mount. The EU’s push for a climate-neutral building stock by 2050 means property owners must act now to avoid stranded assets and falling property values. But the path to decarbonisation is complex: collecting accurate data, identifying cost-effective renovation strategies, and navigating ESG compliance can be time-consuming and expensive. Without the right tools, sustainability can feel out of reach.

Predium’s Real Estate Intelligence Platform makes sustainability accessible. By harnessing AI, satellite imagery, and 3D modelling, Predium transforms fragmented data into actionable insights. Its platform enables real estate owners to pinpoint CO2 hotspots, assess climate risks, and prioritise renovations that deliver the greatest environmental and financial returns.
“We enable our clients to make smart transaction and renovation decisions,” explains Jens Thumm, co-founder and CEO of Predium. “In this way, real estate values can be increased. The interest shown by a large number of well-known investors confirms that Predium is successfully driving the transformation of the real estate sector.”
Predium’s impact is profound. By aligning ESG requirements with profitability, it empowers clients to tackle climate challenges head-on, proving that sustainability and economic growth can go hand-in-hand.
