At the forefront of sustainability

Investment for now and the future

To mitigate climate change, we must reduce CO2 emissions by 95% by 2050. The recent implementation of DuPa 2.0 (Sustainability Paragraph 2.0) has tightened the reins in valuation requirements. In simpler terms, real estate owners now have a clear understanding of what needs to be done to remain compliant over the next 25 years. You may also choose to make all the necessary investments at once, accelerating the process of making your portfolio Paris-proof. However, the question remains: what will the long-term benefits of these investments be?

Compliant or future-proof?

Improving the energy label of your property can be achieved through various measures. However, the financial and sustainability gains you will obtain, as well as the effectiveness of implementing multiple measures simultaneously, depend on the specific characteristics of your building. That's why our valuation services go beyond standard analysis. We conduct an extensive investigation, aligning with RICS and DuPa 2.0 guidelines, mapping 85 data points of your property.

In addition, we consider a range of aspects in our analysis, such as:

1. Value impact analysis
   In the ESG section of the valuation, we estimate the cost of improving your energy label using the CAPEX tool from our partner Renor. We then assess the resilience and future value of your real estate, taking into account the impact of your sustainability investment.
2. Benchmarks
   We compare your property to local and national reference properties, evaluating its compliance with guidelines such as DGBC Paris Proof, EPC, LEED, and BREEAM.
3. Insight into consumption
   We complete analyses to provide visibility into your emissions and the amount of energy and CO2 emissions you need to reduce. Moreover, we perform a CRREM analysis, enabling you to quickly assess the alignment of your building with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
