LP Access to Innovation & Implementation
GBIS continuously scouts and evaluates best-in-class efficiency solutions for real estate owners, operators and developers. We have built a proprietary and evolving database of cost-saving and innovative opportunities, and we share relevant information with LPs and LP-affiliated companies.
Our professional team also assists interested LPs on an as-needed basis with selecting and implementing best-in-class resource-saving solutions at their portfolios, plants, or facilities.
We provide priority access to the offerings of GSPV's portfolio companies, and LPs are afforded the opportunity to test new products through pilot projects and demonstrations.
LPs who are real estate owners, operators, or developers will be able to leverage GBIS to complement their in-house expertise.¹ They may even fully outsource resource efficiency and sustainability to better focus on core activities.
Certain services are not included in an investment in GBIF. The provision of such services will be subject to consulting fees and the terms and conditions of such services will be set forth in separately negotiated agreements.
