Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

What do Green Building services in Real Estate involve?

Green Building services include technical activities aimed at verifying and improving the environmental and energy performance of buildings according to recognised protocols. They apply to new developments and existing properties and include design analysis, certification support, energy modelling and controls during construction and operation, ensuring consistency between environmental objectives and the characteristics of the asset. 

Which sustainability protocols are applied?

The services cover the application of LEED, BREEAM, BREEAM In-Use, WELL and WiredScore protocols, as well as the Minimum Environmental Criteria. Each protocol addresses specific areas, such as energy, comfort, indoor environmental quality and connectivity, and is applied according to the type of property, the phase of the life cycle and the client’s objectives. 

At which stages of the building life cycle does Green Building apply?

Green Building applies to the planning, design, construction, operation and refurbishment phases. Activities include initial pre-assessments, technical support during project development, on-site controls and commissioning, and performance checks during the operational phase, ensuring continuity between design and asset management. 

How is Green Building integrated with regulatory compliance?

Green Building services support compliance with energy and environmental regulatory requirements, including CAM and the technical criteria applicable to building sustainability. The integration of voluntary protocols and regulatory obligations makes it possible to structure assets that are consistent with the regulatory framework, reducing non-compliance risks throughout the real estate life cycle. 

What is the link between Green Building and ESG strategies?

Green Building is an operational tool for implementing ESG strategies in Real Estate. Certifications and energy analyses provide objective metrics on environmental and wellbeing performance, contributing to ESG reporting, the technical governance of the asset and the measurability of results over time. 

How do Green Building services support portfolio management?

When applied to real estate portfolios, Green Building services make it possible to compare asset performance, identify critical issues and define intervention priorities. The approach facilitates the alignment of properties with common standards, supporting investment, refurbishment and management decisions consistent with energy, ESG and asset enhancement objectives.
