In 2017, Switzerland ratified the Paris Agreement, a crucial step to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. The revision of the CO2 Law aims to cut Switzerland's greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2030 (compared to 1990). The federal government's long-term climate strategy calls for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. For property owners and investors, the question of the optimal strategy for reducing CO2 emissions becomes paramount considering these commitments. We support asset and portfolio management in assessing CO2e emissions, developing reduction pathways, and optimizing property business plans that make ecological and economic sense. Our focus extends beyond emissions to encompass the costs of reduction, revenue potentials of individual properties, and the overall value development of the entire real estate portfolio.

We offer:

• Accounting for energy consumption and CO2e emissions according to Swiss or international standards (SIA-KBOB, BAFU, GHGP)
• Monitoring of energy consumption and CO2e emissions, target value verification
• Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2e emissions with comparable properties and portfolios (REIDA) 
• Building energy certificates with information on energy consumption, CO2e emissions, and recommendations for measures
• Evaluation of alternative heat generators, including scenario comparisons and recommendations
• Reduction pathway (Cause): Definition and modeling of reduction strategies involving measures related to heating, building envelope, and technology, as well as determining the timing of renovations  
• Reduction pathway (Effect): Analysis and assessment of the reduction strategy in terms of CO2e emissions, energy, maintenance and investment costs as well as revenue values
