Successfully improving the sustainability of buildings
Improving the sustainability of buildings is high on the agenda. Buildings that consume less energy result in lower energy bills, which has a direct impact on business results. At the same time, governments expect you, as the owner or manager of buildings, to meet the climate targets for 2030 and 2050 by improving sustainability.

For new buildings, this means that sustainable choices are made during the development itself. There is a focus on energy consumption and sustainable materials are chosen. The relationship with the environment is also assessed: for example, how can it make a positive contribution to biodiversity? But how can you achieve similar results in buildings that you already own or manage?
Improving the sustainability of existing real estate is a very worthy ambition, but a challenging one. What is the current situation when it comes to legislation and regulations? How can you make the right choices today if regulations may change in the future? Will investing in improving sustainability pay dividends or only end up costing money? And: is doing nothing also an option?
We understand that these and other questions make it difficult to take the first step in improving the sustainability of real estate. We help owners and managers of commercial and public buildings to achieve their sustainability ambitions, lower energy bills, and comply with all legislation and regulations.

Roadmap to energy-neutral
The first step is often the most difficult, but even after that, improving the sustainability of real estate can still be complex. We provide a clear roadmap to show you how you can achieve your energy objectives in a series of steps. Based on data about current energy consumption and maintenance plans, we compare different future scenarios (at building and portfolio level), including their impact on the organisation. This enables you to make the right choices today, and a concrete sustainability improvement plan ensures that everyone within the organisation understands what needs to be done.
