Sustainability check

The 'sustainable office' is a service with which we advise and guide owners of offices in making their portfolio more sustainable. This is the first step towards a complete package of sustainability services in all sectors in 2023.

In order to comply with the Paris Agreement, we are faced with more and more sustainability requirements. The government will further tighten the rules in the coming years and enforcement will become stricter. For example, all office buildings must have at least energy label C by 1 January 2023. More than half of them do not yet meet this requirement. This means that a possible closure is imminent. And this is only the first big step until 2050, the year in which buildings are not allowed to use more than 50 kWh / m2.

Which rules apply to you? And how can you make your real estate sustainable as well and as quickly as possible? We arrange this for you from A to Z with our structured and transparent approach.

Which sustainability legislation is coming your way up to 2050? And how does your real estate score now? We analyze your real estate (portfolio) and provide insight into which measures you need to take now, how far away you are from the upcoming legislation and how big the gap is to the climate goals from the Paris Agreement.
The results of the quick scan make it a lot easier for you to set a clear sustainability target for your property. In the ambition meeting that follows, we map out a route together in which your building becomes more sustainable, climate neutral or even climate positive.
We map out which sustainability measures are required, what the costs are, and which subsidies are available to realize your ambition. In addition, we provide you with insight into what sustainability means for the exploitation of your real estate. What rent is justified? And what does it do with the property value?
Based on the sustainability report, we draw up a detailed action plan with which we will make your office building more sustainable. One contact person takes care of project supervision, tendering, coordination and delivery. This increases control over planning and budget and ensures optimal communication.
Finally, we also ensure that the energy label is updated, or one of our experts guides you through the application for a BREEAM or WELL certificate. With these certificates you can determine the performance in the field of sustainability or a healthy working environment of your building.
Sustainability check
Find out to what extent your building meets the sustainability requirements.
How sustainable is your office?
Although from 2023 all office buildings must have at least energy label C, more than half of them do not meet this requirement. The majority of real estate owners consider it important to make their buildings more sustainable, but there are still too many obstacles to really work on sustainability. This is evident from our research report.
