Overview
UDR, a leading real estate investment trust (REIT) with a national footprint in multifamily housing, partnered with Bilancio (formerly operating as Line Loss) to implement a scalable energy savings strategy. What began as a pilot program evolved into a long-term solution delivering millions in aggregate savings—without disrupting operations or compromising performance.

The Opportunity
Following a successful pilot across five buildings, UDR analyzed energy performance results and confirmed the value of Bilancio’s patented energy optimization technology. This initial proof of concept led to the strategic rollout of the solution across an additional 28 buildings.

Key Results

• Portfolio-Wide Savings: A negotiated 5% aggregate reduction in electrical costs across the selected buildings
• Accelerated ROI: The projected 4-year ROI was achieved in just 3.6 years due to rising energy rates and consistent system performance
• Future Impact: UDR is projected to save over $5 million in aggregate energy costs by 2038 through this partnership

Why It Matters
In an environment of increasing utility rates and ESG accountability, UDR’s long-term investment in Bilancio technology has not only stabilized electrical performance but also delivered scalable savings across its portfolio. The solution’s passive nature and ability to retrofit existing panels made it a seamless and impactful upgrade.

Conclusion
UDR’s case demonstrates how a thoughtful, phased approach to energy optimization can deliver immediate savings and long-term ROI. By aligning operational goals with energy efficiency, UDR has turned a utility cost center into a competitive advantage—one that will continue to scale in value for years to come.
