02 · Real estate

Commercial and residential, on one data layer.

Real estate portfolios live under more regulatory pressure than any other category - EPBD, CSRD, MEES, SECR - and most of the heavy lifting happens during reporting season. Wia flips that: the data is ready when the regulation lands.

Operators run mixed estates: offices with deep BMS, retail with patchy submetering, residential with thousands of dwellings and almost no infrastructure. Most platforms force you to pick one. Wia models each asset on its own terms - BMS-led where the building has one, retrofit IoT where it doesn't, manual upload where neither is realistic - and lands all of it in one reporting-grade dataset.

How a real-estate portfolio comes on

Three steps. Mixed assets, one dataset.

MAP

01

Classify the portfolio

Every asset categorised by type, vintage, occupancy and existing meter state. Output is a per-asset rollout plan - BMS-led, retrofit, or manual-upload - with the right hardware bill of materials attached.

02

Integrate the right way per asset

BMS integrations land first since they have no install cost. Retrofit hardware deploys in the same rollout window for assets without BMS. Manual upload covers the long tail until later phases.

03

Report at the level the regulation expects

Site, sub-portfolio or group rollups configurable to match how your reporting team files. EPBD, CSRD, MEES and SECR cuts of the same data, no double-handling.

Inside Real estate

Everything Real estate brings, in one place.

BMS-first integration

Where the building has a BMS - KNX, BACnet, Modbus, Lonworks - we use it. No rip-and-replace, no parallel infrastructure. Existing automation logic stays intact; Wia is the data layer above it.

Retrofit fallback for old stock

For assets without a BMS or with one too old to expose data, retrofit hardware sits on the live meter and starts streaming the same day. The portfolio dashboard treats them identically.

Tenant-respectful residential install

Residential portfolios have thousands of dwellings, no smart infrastructure, and tight install windows. Our hardware ships in tenant-friendly packaging, installs in minutes, and works without disrupting service.

Scope 1, 2 & 3 splits

Carbon accounting per asset, per tenant where applicable, with the conversion factors used surfaced for auditor review. Scope 2 market-based and location-based methods supported side-by-side.

EPBD-ready datasets

Energy intensity, energy use intensity (EUI) and renewable share computed automatically per asset. Datasets exported in the shape the directive's national implementations expect.

MEES band tracking

For UK assets, EPC bands and MEES exposure tracked at the asset level - so the team knows which buildings are non-compliant before the regulator does, with a clear improvement path per site.

Real estate operators trust Wia from concept through to deployment - with solutions tailored to the regulatory and operational shape of each portfolio.

Regulation-ready

Regulation-readiness, asset by asset.

Real estate is a four-framework problem: EPBD on the European fabric of the building, CSRD on the corporate disclosure side, MEES on UK leasability, SECR on UK reporting. Wia maps each asset to the frameworks it's exposed to and surfaces the gap to compliance per asset - so the reporting team knows which buildings need work and by when.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Wia replace our BMS?

No. Where a BMS exists, we connect to it and let it keep doing the automation it's good at. Wia is the data and reporting layer above - it doesn't change setpoints, write to actuators, or interfere with the BMS's own operation.

How do you handle residential where tenants control thermostats?

Residential is treated as portfolio-level visibility - landlord-side meters, common-area energy, aggregated dwelling consumption where utility data is available. We never need tenant device access, and we never need per-tenant install agreements.

What about MEES for sub-EPC properties?

We track EPC band per asset, model the trajectory under your current asset-management plan, and flag assets at risk of moving below the threshold. The dashboard makes the question 'which buildings need work and by when' answerable in a meeting, not a quarter.

Can asset managers see only their portfolio?

Yes - role-based access is configurable down to the asset level. Asset managers see only what they manage, regional heads see their region, the group ESG team sees everything. Same data, different windows.

Whichever way you're built - Wia plugs in.
