The business world is shifting and adapting constantly, and the business of real estate is no exception. IMT is dedicated to co-creating, testing, and sharing business practices that rethink how buildings are designed, constructed, managed, and valued to save billions of dollars annually, reduce harmful emissions, and improve community resilience, health, and economic opportunity. Together, IMT unites real estate decision makers, community representatives, government leaders, and energy efficiency service providers to create higher-performing, healthier, more resilient properties that not only help the people within them thrive, but also support the communities around them.

How IMT Changes Business Practices
We help building operators, owners, managers, and tenants take action to improve their buildings to meet internal goals and external requirements. This includes an array of step-by-step guides and associated tools and case studies that can be quickly deployed for change.
IMT provides insight on public policy that affects real estate decisions, from understanding how building-specific laws and codes will influence or require change in building ownership and management, to increasing real estate and community stakeholder engagement in policy design and advocacy processes.
IMT partners with market leaders to pilot innovative technologies and solutions that bridge the gap between today’s buildings and a future where all buildings are high-performing.
