Helios Exchange Launches the World's First Commercial Real Estate Platform for Energy Retrofit Project Development, Insurance and Financing

San Francisco, CA, February 9, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Helios Exchange announced today the launch of the world’s first online platform offering comprehensive solutions to discover, develop, insure and finance energy efficiency retrofit projects – effectively removing the primary obstacle to capturing the energy savings potential in buildings.

Pierre Trevet, Founder and CEO of Helios Exchange stated, “Buildings account for 40% of the US energy use and carbon emissions. Typically, buildings can save 30% of their energy use through proven energy efficiency measures. Until now, the transaction costs to develop and finance energy retrofit projects in commercial real estate have been prohibitive, leaving 70% of the building stock unaddressed. Thanks to Helios’ game-changing retrofit risk simulation technology, financing and insuring the energy efficiency improvements can be done cost-effectively for any size building.”
