Energy Efficiency, Decarbonization & Renewables

Real estate funds, asset management companies, banks, public administrations and corporate clients operating within national and European regulatory frameworks, for real estate assets and portfolios across all stages of the asset lifecycle.

Energy Efficiency, Decarbonization and Renewable Sources services address the need to reduce energy consumption, climate-altering emissions and regulatory risks associated with real estate asset management. They are applied from the planning and acquisition phase through design, operation and asset enhancement, supporting owners, investors, managers and facility management teams. The approach is based on energy audits, decarbonization models and structured monitoring systems, integrating operational efficiency, environmental sustainability and energy governance in line with ESG objectives and applicable regulatory requirements.

Our approach

The approach integrates strategic analysis and technical operations throughout the entire asset lifecycle, from planning to management. Activities are based on structured energy audits, performance modelling and the use of consumption monitoring tools for continuous performance control. Decarbonization plans support the medium- to long-term scheduling of interventions, assessing their energy, environmental and economic impacts. Integration with ESG, green building and portfolio management areas enables consistent alignment between energy performance, asset governance and investment strategies. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Energy Efficiency services for Real Estate include?

Energy Efficiency services include technical activities aimed at reducing the energy consumption of buildings. They are based on energy audits, analysis of building systems and envelope, consumption monitoring and the definition of improvement actions. They apply to the design, retrofit and operational management of properties, contributing to cost containment and improved environmental performance. 

What is meant by decarbonization of real estate assets?

Decarbonization is the progressive reduction of CO2 emissions associated with properties, in line with climate objectives and regulatory scenarios. Through tools such as CRREM, it is possible to simulate the evolution of emissions over time and plan efficiency measures. The application concerns both individual assets and real estate portfolios, supporting long-term strategies and risk management. 

What role do renewable sources play in existing buildings?

Renewable sources contribute to covering buildings’ energy needs while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Services include feasibility studies, system integration and technical-economic assessments. They apply to both operating properties and retrofit projects, with direct effects on energy performance and emissions. 

How do these services support regulatory and ESG compliance?

Energy Efficiency, Decarbonization and Renewable Sources services support compliance with energy and environmental regulatory requirements. Activities provide structured and measurable data that are useful for ESG reporting and compliance processes. Integration with sustainability strategies enables alignment between operational performance and regulatory obligations applicable to the real estate sector. 

How do they affect real estate portfolio management?

When applied at portfolio level, these services make it possible to compare the energy performance of assets, identify intervention priorities and plan consistent investments. The use of dedicated models and platforms provides an aggregated view of consumption, emissions and risks, supporting strategic decisions in the management and enhancement of real estate assets. 

At which stages of the asset lifecycle can these services be applied?

The services can be applied across all stages of the lifecycle: acquisition, design, construction, operational management and disposal. In the initial phase, they support feasibility analysis and risk assessment; during operation, they ensure monitoring and continuous optimization; in enhancement phases, they contribute to maintaining the asset’s energy and environmental performance.
