CBRE Makes Strategic Investment in Redaptive to Promote Efficiency as a Service (“EaaS”) Model

April 16, 2018

New Offering Will Deliver Efficiency and Smart Building Solutions to
Clients

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE: CBRE) announced today that it has made a
strategic investment in energy services firm Redaptive, Inc.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Redaptive is a fast-growing provider of
integrated energy efficiency solutions and energy financing for building
owners and occupiers.

“Redaptive offers a new and compelling service for CBRE clients,” said
Matt Werner, Global President, Facilities Management. “CBRE’s strategic
partnership and investment will enable Redaptive to expand its capacity
into more portfolios worldwide, while helping our clients reduce costs
and improve sustainability.”

Mr. Werner will join the Redaptive Board of Directors, representing CBRE
and other external investors.

Redaptive differs from traditional energy services firms in that it
offers portfolio-wide, turnkey efficiency solutions, backed by
transparent measurement and verification reporting. Redaptive finances
and manages building efficiency projects, recovering costs from savings
delivered. Redaptive’s solutions allow clients to implement projects in
a risk-mitigated manner, leveraging third-party technology and
installation partners.

“Every one of our client portfolios has latent energy inefficiencies,
presenting an opportunity for improvement,” says John Hagen, CBRE’s
Managing Director, Energy and Sustainability. “The challenge for many of
our clients is securing capital and project resources to implement
energy conservation measures when their organization has so many other
priorities. We are excited to support Redaptive and bring forward a
compelling option for our clients.”

“We are thrilled to have this strategic support from CBRE,” said Arvin
Vohra, Co-CEO of Redaptive. “It will enable us to accelerate our product
offerings and continue to break down the barriers to large-scale
efficiency deployments.”

“CBRE and Redaptive are already collaborating to solve complex client
problems and design unique solutions to accelerate and scale energy
efficiency,” added John Rhow, Redaptive Co-CEO. “This investment and
partnership bodes well for the future of the industry.”
