What does it mean to be a Signatory?
What resources
do you receive?
In-principle support for the industry-led Proptech Energy Efficiency Features Standard.
A willingness and commitment to collaborate - as one property sector community - on the adoption of a research-backed property data attribute standard for energy efficiency features.
Signatories will have access to the EE Data set ready to adopt into their tech, including associated trademarks and descriptors and research validated Householder preferences for digital property advertising and real estate facing CRM dashboard. The Key Energy Efficiency Features which are enabled by the EE Data Standard are inclusive of Home Energy Rating and NABERS for Apartment Buildings.
A commitment to work towards implementation within 18 months from release of the “Key Energy Efficiency Features”which comprise the EE Data Standard.
Once adopted into your tech, these features will then be available to your customers - either real estate industry facing (such as appraisals/listings/marketing/data tech solutions) or consumer facing experiences (such as search criteria/property experiences/insights).
Your commitment to the standard can then be displayed using the statement “We are a Founding Signatory to the Proptech Energy Efficiency Features Standard” with a link to this website. This can be added to your website; either as a footer or in general company information or in corporate sustainability statements.
You can opt-out at any time. In this case you won’t be able to display the (see 6.) footer or promote your association with the collaboration and you will be removed from website.
