Deepki Launches the Deepki Index: Transforming U.S. Sustainability Benchmarking

Deepki, a prominent name in sustainability solutions for real estate, has made a significant stride by launching its inaugural U.S. Index on October 9, 2025. The Deepki Index aims to support commercial real estate investors, owners, and asset managers in measuring the energy efficiency and carbon footprints of their office and logistics properties located across six major U.S. regions: California, Florida, the Midwest, New York City, the Northeast, and Texas.

Since its genesis in 2022, the Deepki Index has established a reputation as a leading reference for sustainability in European real estate, and its introduction in the U.S. marks a pivotal moment. The need for such a robust benchmarking tool has never been more critical, especially as deregulation threatens access to imperative sustainability data, even while various states and cities implement ambitious plans to mitigate building emissions.

A Detailed Look at the Deepki Index

What sets the Deepki Index apart is its foundation in actual building consumption data, carefully collected through Deepki’s advanced platform. This data is subjected to rigorous quality filters, taking into account factors such as energy completeness, year-to-year consumption variations, and temperature sensitivities. The expertise of Deepki’s data scientists and energy specialists underpins the Index, ensuring that it offers a reliable benchmark for sustainability performance which is crucial for the U.S. market.

Additionally, the Index sheds light on the regional variances within the U.S. real estate landscape. For instance, in the colder regions part of the Industrial Golden Triangle, which encompasses significant locations such as Chicago, Indianapolis, and Columbus, office buildings displayed a remarkable 23% higher energy intensity. This insight is invaluable as it highlights both the economic importance and the sustainability challenges facing these areas.

Deepki's Commitment to North America
