AI carbon-forecasting tool launched for real-estate

Real-estate solutions specialist Bright Power is launching an artificial intelligence- (AI-) powered carbon forecasting and investment planning platform for multifamily commercial real-estate owners and investors.

Bright Power AI, which features software products Predict and Navigate, delivers the tools to forecast carbon compliance, monitor energy benchmarking, and identify plans to meet carbon goals.

Actionable intelligence

As more US cities implement building performance standards that cap carbon emissions, property owners are facing tightening compliance deadlines and escalating fines. Bright Power AI aims to turn fragmented building data into actionable intelligence, helping owners identify decarbonisation strategies for their properties that reduce risk and strengthen return on investment.

Bright Power Predict is an AI-powered carbon forecasting and energy planning software that provides visibility into energy use, emissions forecasts, and financial performance across a building’s lifecycle. Owners can model and compare scenarios to reduce emissions, lower operating costs, and maintain compliance with local regulations.

“By combining AI-driven insights with more than 20 years of real-world building performance data, we help owners identify clear, actionable paths to achieve compliance while optimising financial returns”

The software projects carbon caps and evaluates retrofit pathways over time, helping owners visualise and prioritise investments that align compliance requirements with financial outcomes through their tailored emissions reduction plan.

Bright Power Predict enables:

• Clear emissions baselines at the property and portfolio level
• Visibility into compliance thresholds, including projected fines
• Scenario-modelling to compare retrofit costs, savings, and timelines
• Long-term forecasts to plan for future regulatory requirements
• Financial analysis of investments, savings, and net cash impact
• Portfolio-level dashboards for tracking performance and risk.

For clients with properties in New York City, for example, where emissions limits are among the strictest in the country, Predict incorporates Local Law 97 thresholds, fine projections, and compliance timelines directly into its modelling. The platform enables owners to understand their current position, evaluate pathways to compliance, and plan for stricter 2030 requirements. Bright Power’s experience in New York’s energy and retrofit landscape strengthens the platform’s recommendations with real-world implementation data.
