Navigating Climate Transition Risk with CRREM

Arthian helps building owners, asset managers, and investors assess and manage carbon performance using CRREM, the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor. Our services support ESG compliance, Net Zero alignment, and financial disclosure by identifying transition risk and guiding strategic renovation planning.

What is Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM)?

CRREM is a science-based tool that evaluates whether building assets are aligned with sectoral decarbonisation pathways. It quantifies stranded asset risk, carbon performance gaps, and renovation timelines, supporting Net Zero planning, ESG reporting, and climate risk disclosures.

Our CRREM Services

Arthian provides CRREM-aligned risk analysis and advisory services to help real estate owners and investors assess carbon performance, avoid stranded assets, and align portfolios with Net Zero and ESG disclosure frameworks.

CRREM pathway modelling & stranding risk analysis

We model energy and carbon trajectories for buildings against CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) pathways to assess alignment with decarbonisation targets and identify stranding risks. Our analysis highlights when assets may become non-compliant or financially vulnerable due to carbon performance, quantifying risk severity and mapping out intervention timelines. This enables informed decision-making around retrofit strategies, investment planning, and portfolio resilience.

Our services include:

CRREM-aligned trajectory modelling for energy and carbon performance.
Stranding risk identification including projected dates and severity levels.
Intervention timeline development to support proactive asset management.
Scenario testing to explore retrofit and operational improvement options.
Portfolio-level analysis to prioritise action across multiple assets.
Clear reporting and visualisation to support investor and stakeholder engagement.

Portfolio risk benchmarking

We assess your property portfolio to identify assets at risk of carbon stranding and benchmark performance against sectoral averages and climate-aligned targets. Using CRREM pathways and industry data, we help you understand how your buildings compare, where vulnerabilities lie, and where to prioritise action. This enables strategic planning, supports ESG reporting, and strengthens your position with investors and regulators.

Our services include:

Portfolio-wide risk screening to identify high-risk and non-aligned assets.
Benchmarking against CRREM pathways and sectoral performance norms.
Climate-aligned target comparison to assess progress and gaps.
Prioritisation frameworks to guide retrofit and investment decisions.
Visual dashboards and reporting to support internal and external communication.
Integration with WLCA and strategy services for a joined-up decarbonisation approach.

Asset renovation & transition planning

We develop retrofit strategies to align buildings with CRREM decarbonisation pathways, prioritising feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and Net Zero goals. Our approach helps you plan and phase interventions that reduce energy use and carbon emissions, while maintaining asset value and operational performance. Whether you’re managing a single building or an entire portfolio, we support strategic decision-making to futureproof assets and avoid stranding risk.

Our services include:

Retrofit strategy development aligned with CRREM and Net Zero targets.
Feasibility and cost-benefit analysis to prioritise impactful interventions.
Phased transition planning to support budgeting and operational continuity.
Integration with WLCA and energy modelling for holistic decision-making.
Stakeholder engagement to ensure buy-in and smooth implementation.
Monitoring frameworks to track progress and refine strategies over time.

Net Zero alignment verification

We validate your Net Zero plans against CRREM expectations, identifying gaps, risks, and opportunities for recalibration. Our analysis ensures your strategies are not only ambitious but also credible and aligned with market and regulatory benchmarks. By comparing your asset or portfolio trajectories with CRREM decarbonisation pathways, we help you refine your approach, strengthen investor confidence, and stay ahead of evolving compliance standards.

Our services include:

CRREM-aligned verification of Net Zero strategies and action plans.
Gap analysis to highlight misalignments and areas for improvement.
Opportunity identification to enhance carbon performance and resilience.
Scenario modelling to test alternative pathways and interventions.
Strategic recommendations for recalibration and optimisation.
Clear reporting to support ESG disclosures and stakeholder engagement.

Disclosure & reporting support

We prepare CRREM-aligned outputs to support your climate and ESG disclosures—ensuring robust, investor-grade reporting across frameworks such as TCFD, SFDR, and CSRD. Our reporting support translates technical analysis into clear, actionable insights for internal dashboards and external stakeholders. By aligning your data with regulatory and market expectations, we help you demonstrate transparency, manage risk, and strengthen your sustainability narrative.

Our services include:

CRREM-aligned reporting outputs tailored to key disclosure frameworks.
Support for TCFD, SFDR, and CSRD compliance and narrative development.
Internal ESG dashboard integration for ongoing performance tracking.
Data structuring and visualisation to enhance clarity and impact.
Investor-grade documentation to support due diligence and stakeholder confidence.
Gap analysis and recommendations to improve reporting quality and alignment.

Data collection & energy performance assessment

We support energy and emissions data collection to ensure accuracy and completeness for CRREM modelling and analysis. Reliable data is the foundation of effective carbon risk assessment, and we help you gather, validate, and structure the information needed to assess building performance against CRREM pathways. Our approach enables confident decision-making, supports compliance, and lays the groundwork for targeted interventions and reporting.

Our services include:

Energy and emissions data collection across operational and embodied sources.
Data validation and gap-filling to ensure completeness and reliability.
Performance benchmarking against CRREM thresholds and industry standards.
Integration with modelling tools for trajectory and risk analysis.
Support for metering and monitoring systems to improve data quality.
Structured outputs for use in reporting, dashboards, and strategic planning.

Integration with other tools & standards

We integrate CRREM analysis with leading sustainability frameworks, including BREEAM, Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA), PAS 2080, and Net Zero strategies, to create a unified and coherent approach to building decarbonisation. This joined-up methodology ensures consistency across assessments, streamlines reporting, and strengthens your overall sustainability narrative. By aligning tools and standards, we help you maximise impact, reduce duplication, and deliver credible, futureproof outcomes.

Our integration approach includes:

CRREM + BREEAM alignment to support certification and performance benchmarking.
Linking CRREM with WLCA for comprehensive lifecycle carbon analysis.
PAS 2080 integration to embed carbon governance and strategy across projects.
Net Zero strategy mapping to ensure CRREM pathways support long-term goals.
Streamlined data workflows to reduce duplication and improve efficiency.
Unified reporting outputs for ESG disclosures and stakeholder engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data is needed for a CRREM analysis?

We require annual energy consumption, floor area, asset type, and location. Additional data improves accuracy and insight.

What types of assets can CRREM assess?

CRREM covers offices, retail, residential, logistics, hospitality, and mixed-use—using sector-specific, country-level pathways.

Can CRREM be used to support SFDR or TCFD reporting?

Yes. CRREM is widely accepted for quantifying and disclosing transition risk under SFDR, TCFD, and EU Taxonomy.

What’s a ‘stranded asset’ in CRREM terms?

An asset is stranded when its emissions intensity exceeds CRREM thresholds—making it incompatible with climate-aligned operation.
