Better Buildings is built and run by Tether, a New Zealand building performance company that monitors commercial buildings. Tether's sensors and data platform sit behind commercial buildings across New Zealand, and its team of building performance specialists and assessors work alongside owners through every stage.

ASB Bank supports Better Buildings and provides the sustainable finance products that help owners act on what the platform shows them.

## Why we built Better Buildings

Building owners and managers need to understand what an investment could return, and see evidence of what it actually delivers. For too long they have had to stitch together advice, suppliers and finance themselves. That friction can lead to stalled projects and wasted capital.

Better Buildings connects the whole journey, from the first estimate through assessment, finance and delivery to measurement. With ASB Bank's support, finance sits at the heart of the process: owners build business cases that stack up, and eligible projects can connect to ASB Bank sustainable finance. Building data then measures performance against what the business case expected.

## What does "supported by ASB Bank" mean?

Tether builds and runs Better Buildings. ASB Bank supports the platform and provides the sustainable finance products that owners can use to fund eligible upgrades. ASB Bank does not own the platform or your data.
