Valuers face increasing pressure to incorporate ESG factors into valuations, yet gaps in data availability and quality remain a key obstacle. This case study explores how JLL tested Large Language Models (LLMs), including its proprietary JLLGPT, to enhance the extraction of ESG data from diverse sources. The findings reveal JLLGPT’s accuracy, particularly in processing multi-language documents, demonstrating the potential of AI to streamline ESG reporting and improve valuation robustness.

To address rising flood risks and meet EU disclosure requirements, APG piloted the open-source REACT tool, moving away from opaque ‘black-box’ models. The tool enabled clear, comparable assessments using EU climate data. Results revealed up to a 78% increase in flood risk for some assets by 2080, highlighting the value of transparent methodologies for climate-resilient real estate strategies.

Revelop has partnered with Myrspoven to improve the energy efficiency of its properties.

Myrspoven’s AI platform, myCoreAI, was integrated to optimise energy use. It analyses data from the building and external sources, such as weather and social patterns, to create a unique algorithm tailored to each building’s specific conditions and usage.

The case study outlines how a.s.r. Real Estate partnered with Scaler to meet its ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2045. Using the Scaler platform, a.s.r. was able to create data-driven decarbonisation roadmaps for its portfolio of over 450 assets. Scaler's tools help track energy use, GHG emissions, and sustainability efforts, while enabling iterative scenario planning. 

This partnership provides transparent, actionable insights for reducing emissions, improving data accuracy, and aligning with international standards like the Paris Agreement.

Cromwell Property Group partnered with Deepki to streamline ESG data collection and reporting across its European portfolio. The Deepki platform automates utility data collection, enabling better asset performance insights, energy and carbon reduction planning, and compliance with European regulations. By March 2023, 74% of Cromwell's European assets were integrated, allowing for improved energy tracking, tenant data collection, and carbon accounting. 

This initiative supports Cromwell’s ESG strategy with clearer reporting and actionable sustainability targets​.
