Next Sense and Edge partner to Bridge buildings performance gap

Next Sense, a leader in smart building platforms, and Edge, a pioneering real estate developer and asset manager, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at delivering sustainable, high-performance buildings. This collaboration will see Edge supporting the implemention of the Next Sense platform across all its projects during the critical first year of operations, ensuring optimal efficiency from day one and eliminating the typical performance gap that often delays peak building performance.

Committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, this partnership aims to accelerate industry-wide change. The Next Sense platform will monitor, measure, and optimize energy consumption of building installations in real-time, capturing precise data to ensure each development performs as intended, aligning with ESG goals and sustainability benchmarks from the outset.

Additionally, with the support of Edge, Next Sense will empower investors and tenants with tools and insights to collect, monitor, and control data, enabling tailored adjustments to meet specific requirements. By aligning these capabilities with CSRD reporting, Next Sense is set to redefine data integrity and operational performance in buildings.

Coen van Oostrom, Founder & CEO at Edge, stated, "A strong collaboration between building’s owners, operators and tenants is essential for Edge to achieve their Net Zero Carbon targets. It demands that our buildings perform exactly as intended, continuously and reliably. With Next Sense's smart platform, we can access real-time data and leverage advanced machine learning to close the performance gap.

Ferdinand Grapperhaus, CEO of Next Sense, added, "Edge's decision to promote our platform across its portfolio is a testament to the value we bring to building operations and sustainability. Together, we are setting a new standard for data-driven smart buildings, ensuring that every Edge development not only meets but exceeds expectations for performance, sustainability, and occupant comfort.

The collaboration between Next Sense and Edge represents a significant advancement in the development of sustainable and energy-efficient buildings, leveraging data-driven technologies to optimize performance and reduce environmental impact.
