ClimateFirst

Your building was designed for a different climate.

Resilient buildings in a changing climate require an accurate account of physical risks and costs—and an actionable plan to reduce them.

Climate Risk Management.
Simplified.

A changing climate impacts every building differently. To understand the financial impacts of physical climate hazards on every property across a portfolio, the scale of the solution must match the scale of the challenge.

From ESG and regulatory reporting to due diligence and capital planning to risk management. Climate-informed decisions start with a clear understanding of the risks, costs, and how to address them. Do it all with one software solution.

Answer your questions with the right solution

What are the specific climate risks for this asset?

Identify location-specific climate hazards with a Climate Risk Screening.

How will these hazards impact future costs?

Confirm the financial value of the identified climate hazards for a property with a CVaR Assessment.

What should be done to protect this asset?

Prioritize upgrades and timing with resiliency planning guidance provided from a CVaR Assessment.

Who is using ClimateFirst

“We chose ClimateFirst for our portfolio’s physical climate risk assessments for a few reasons, but it was their Climate Value at Risk (CVaR) assessments, in particular, that set them apart. By providing specific costs linked to climate risks and recommendations for mitigation – including low and no-cost opportunities – the CVaR assessments help us make better, climate-informed capital planning and investment decisions.”

Credible Climate Value at Risk (CVaR) starts from the bottom up.

A building’s resilience relies on the performance of its critical building systems. ClimateFirst Climate Value at Risk (CVaR) Assessments model each system against a property’s specific climate risks to determine its overall CVaR to inform capital and adaptation planning.
