RE Tech Advisors and Audette Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Decarbonization and Deliver Scalable Value for Real Estate Owners and Investors

January 2026 — RE Tech Advisors, a leading sustainability advisory firm trusted by the world’s largest real estate investors, announced a strategic partnership with Audette, a business intelligence platform that enables real estate owners to enhance ​asset-level ​returns while managing transition risk. Together, this partnership will provide a scalable solution that helps companies identify value accretive opportunities, mitigate climate-related risk, and meet evolving energy efficiency and decarbonization requirements.

Driving Innovation in Building Decarbonization

As clients face increasing pressure to improve performance, comply with building performance standards, and demonstrate progress toward sustainability and resiliency goals, RE Tech is committed to applying market-leading technologies to unlock differentiated value. By pairing its deep advisory expertise with Audette’s​ ​engineering-grade planning platform,​​ RE Tech will help clients accelerate action across their portfolios while reducing both the time and cost traditionally associated with carbon and energy assessments.

About Audette

Audette’s platform analyzes buildings for capital upgrade opportunities that increase asset value by improving NOI—helping owners reduce utility costs, avoid building performance standard fines, and unlock ancillary revenue opportunities. The platform has been validated through more than 50 same-site comparisons against traditional onsite ASHRAE Level II audits, benchmarked against over 20 independent auditors across the U.S. and Canada. Its audit-comparable outputs, technical rigor, and consistency make it uniquely effective at portfolio scale.  

The platform is formally recognized by both GRESB and USGBC. GRESB accepts Audette’s desktop audits as an alternative to traditional onsite audits, and unlike traditional audits—which expire for points after three years—Audette’s plans generate GRESB points annually as long as they remain updated on the platform.

Backed by decades of experience and a team of more than 115 professionals, RE Tech provides support ranging from Building Performance Standard Compliance Monitoring to GHG Inventory development.

Delivering Scalable Value for Real Estate Owners

By combining RE Tech’s expert advisory services with Audette’s physics-based modeling capabilities, clients will benefit from:

• Substantial cost savings compared to traditional onsite audits, which typically cost $10,000–$30,000 per building

• Faster results via integrated desktop workflows—enabling quicker progress toward emission-reduction goals and compliance with building performance standards

• Greater audit coverage across entire portfolios, including assets where onsite audits would be cost-prohibitive

• Annual GRESB points under the Technical Building Assessments (RA2) indicator

Turning Insights Into Action: RE Tech’s Integration of Audette Outputs

A key value driver of the partnership is RE Tech’s ability to seamlessly incorporate Audette’s analytics into customized decarbonization action plans. RE Tech will translate Audette’s building-level insights into practical, costed roadmaps that help clients:

• Mitigate and manage transition risk

• Prioritize high-ROI capital upgrades

• Meet energy efficiency and carbon-reduction targets

• Plan for compliance with federal, state, and local regulations

• Build long-term resilience into their portfolios

This integrated approach ensures clients not only understand the opportunities identified through Audette’s modeling but also have a clear, data-driven path to implementation through RE Tech's actionable property-level plans and portfolio-level guidance —resulting in real, measurable performance outcomes.
