New York, USA — Akila, a digital twin data platform, has formed a strategic alliance with Deloitte to offer decarbonization software solutions to the organizations’ shared U.S. customers looking to reduce carbon emissions, optimize energy consumption, and enhance efficiency related to the operation of buildings.
Akila centralizes all building-related data via the Internet of Things (IoT), application programming interfacing (API), software development kits (SDK) and other tools to help organizations better understand their energy use, physical asset health, internal environmental quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and more. Through proprietary technology and an open data environment, the Akila platform can be deployed in any building ecosystem, including commercial, industrial, retail, education, or healthcare facilities. More than 100 million square feet of built environment has been digitalized with Akila.
As U.S. organizations face increased regulatory pressure regarding environmental, social and governance (ESG)-related disclosures and greenhouse gas reductions, they often lack both the tools to accurately understand their current emissions and the data to help plan needed capital improvements. Through this new alliance, customers can gain access to Akila’s 360-degree data platform with highly accurate and auditable data as well as Deloitte’s professionals who can offer analyses and strategic plans to help make built environments more sustainable and equitable.
Mark Bawtree, Akila’s Chief Sustainability Officer, stated “We are excited to join forces with Deloitte as a significant step forward in our mission to drive sustainability in the built environment through data-driven insights and strategic guidance. By combining Akila’s advanced digital twin technology with Deloitte’s service offerings, we can help organizations across the United States to take decisive action toward reducing their carbon footprints, optimizing energy consumption, and enhancing operational efficiency.”
Leveraging features like real-time data monitoring and benchmarking, customers are given navigational, comparative analysis and forecasting tools to help them stay focused on their sustainability and ESG goals. By using their building data in more advanced simulations enabled by the digital twin, customers can look even further into the future by testing the impact of capital projects on energy, emissions, and value, before deciding to invest. These innovative applications are driving exponential growth in the digital twin market, which is on the path to reach a total market value of over $100 billion by 2030.
“Improved building management can help organizations reduce energy use while also increasing asset value. With data-driven insights and strategic guidance, we hope to help Deloitte and Akila’s shared clients as they transform their built environments into more sustainable and efficient assets,” said Nathan Florio, Deloitte Advisory’s Sustainability, Climate & Equity Real Estate leader and a principal in Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP.
