CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) provides science-based decarbonization pathways that show how much energy and carbon your buildings should use each year to align with Paris Agreement climate targets (1.5°C or 2°C scenarios).What CRREM Provides
| Component | Description | Use Case |
|---|
| Decarbonization pathways | Annual targets by property type and country | Long-term planning |
| Stranding year | When property exceeds pathway | Risk quantification |
| Carbon intensity targets | kgCO2/m²/year thresholds | Performance goals |
| Energy intensity targets | kWh/m²/year thresholds | Efficiency planning |
How CRREM Pathways Work
2024: Your office uses 100 kgCO2/m²
CRREM pathway: 95 kgCO2/m² ← Already exceeding!
2030: CRREM pathway: 65 kgCO2/m²
2040: CRREM pathway: 25 kgCO2/m²
2050: CRREM pathway: ~0 kgCO2/m² (net zero)
Stranding Definition: A “stranded” building exceeds the CRREM pathway—it’s no longer aligned with climate targets and faces transition risks (regulatory, market value, financing).
