The CRREM Pathways
Science-based decarbonization targets for every property type, in every major market. The global standard for assessing transition risk in real estate.
The CRREM Pathways start with global carbon budgets consistent with the Paris Agreement and translate them into year-by-year targets for every building type in every covered country.
Visualize the decarbonization trajectory
Select a country, property type, and metric to see the CRREM Pathway. Add your building's data to find its Misalignment Year.
apartment Compare your building
Enter your building's current intensity and expected annual improvement to see when (or if) it crosses the CRREM Pathway.

Calculate CRREM Alignment in 3 Steps
Explore how CRREM alignment works at the asset or portfolio level. Enter building data, match pathways, and find your Misalignment Year.
Enter your building's data
Set the property type, floor area, annual energy use, and planned reduction rate using the interactive chips. The carbon intensity is calculated automatically. Use the arrows on the Property Type chip to cycle through building types.
Match your country
Select the building's country to match it to the correct CRREM pathway. Zip or postal code lookup for the US and Australia is coming soon.
See your Misalignment Year
Once you've entered building data and matched a pathway, the chart below renders live. It projects your building's carbon intensity against the CRREM pathway to find the year it falls out of alignment. Download the result as an image or Excel file.
Enter your portfolio assets
Bring together the carbon intensity and floor area from each asset's CRREM assessment. Each asset is weighted by its share of total floor area to calculate a single portfolio-level carbon intensity.
Build your weighted pathway
Each asset's country and property type maps to a CRREM decarbonisation pathway. The pathways are weighted by floor area share and merged into a single portfolio-level CRREM pathway from 2020 to 2050.
Find the portfolio Misalignment Year
Compare the portfolio's aggregated carbon intensity against the weighted CRREM pathway. The Misalignment Year is the first year the declining pathway drops below the portfolio's current performance \u2014 the point at which the portfolio is no longer Paris-aligned.
