A new build that will
still be affordable and rentable in ten years
We clarify early on which sustainability requirements your project truly needs and manage processes or certifications with that goal in mind.
Since 2010, we have been supporting project development, existing properties, expansions, and portfolios – from the initial decision to the final certificate.

Where do you currently stand?
Project Development · The new building is in the planning stage
Costs, deadlines, and marketing goals set the framework, with sustainability meant to fit right in.
→ What requirements do we need today to ensure sales and leasing are viable?
Neighborhood Development · A neighborhood is being developed
Regulatory requirements on one side, marketable parcels on the other.
→ What are the authorities requiring, and what makes sub-plots attractive to investors?
Investment + Financing · Banks or regulators demand a standard
The measures must be budgeted and incorporated into the CAPEX calculation.
→ Which measures impact interest rates, and which subsidies are realistic?
Corporate Real Estate · There are more requirements circulating than can be reasonably met
ESG, EU taxonomy, certifications, energy efficiency, user comfort, digitalization.
→ What does the market really demand, what pays off, and what can you cut?
What we handle
Management
We have managed the implementation and successful accreditation of various standards in over 460 projects.
Engineering Services
We simulate, measure, and calculate – delivering results that your planners, contractors, and buyers can rely on.
From the initial question to verification
Project Check
Where does the project stand, what is achievable? · free of charge · feedback within three business days
Strategy
Analysis, goals, priorities, roadmap · 10 working days
Measures
Implementation, specifications, construction supervision
Proof or certificate
Verification and documentation
Ten working days to a decision-making basis
The project check determines whether and how to proceed within three working days. If you decide to proceed, the strategy phase begins.
01
Project analysis
Existing planning, site conditions, regulatory requirements, your goals.
Duration
2 days
02
Potential assessment
Energy, climate protection, biodiversity, resource conservation, mobility, economic efficiency.
Duration
3-4 days
03
Strategy Roadmap
Realistic goals, priorities, responsibilities, and milestones.
Duration
a few days
What you will have in hand afterwards
The cost-benefit analysis, including payback periods and certification options, are subsequent steps that build on this. We will tell you in advance what both will cost.
Gap analysis based on user surveys and site assessments
Roadmap for healthy, attractive, and sustainable work, learning, and living environments
Clear priorities and investment decisions
Independent verification of the certificate

What we work with
Feasibility + biodiversity studies
Early planning phase, development, or revitalization of properties. Comparison of variants, opportunity and risk assessment, earnings forecast, valuation.
Simulations
When planning decisions regarding energy, comfort, daylight, or microclimate need to be validated. Simulation report including scenarios, key performance indicators, and optimization recommendations.
Energy Model
Forecast of future energy demand and carbon footprint. Digital energy model, demand forecasting, carbon footprint, and recommendations for plant technology.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Assessment of environmental impacts over the entire life cycle. Life cycle assessment including carbon footprinting and optimization recommendations.
CRREM analysis
Forecast of how your building will perform against EU regulatory CO₂ limits during operation. Decarbonization pathway, risk assessment, and investment requirements.
EU Taxonomy Assessment
Assessment of the taxonomy alignment of buildings or districts. Conformity assessment with verification summary.
Climate risk analyses
For requirements under the EU Taxonomy or Article 9 (SFDR). Risk mapping, recommended measures, and proof of EU compliance.
Mobility concepts
Development of new real estate and districts. Needs analysis, package of measures, and implementation strategy for connectivity and accessibility.
Circular Economy
When resource efficiency is required by corporate goals or EU regulations. Action strategy, assessment as a material depot, building passport.
Measurements
Indoor air quality, lighting, acoustics, and thermal comfort in completed or renovated buildings. Measurement report including key performance indicators, deviation analysis, and optimization potential.
Gap analysis
When certification is desired or required by the market. Action plan and certification roadmap.
Structured commissioning
Transitioning the completed or renovated property into ongoing operations. As an independent third party and representative of the client's interests, we coordinate and document the process. This ensures quality before commissioning and handover, and guarantees that the operations team receives the information they will need later on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which certification system is right for us?
Whether you actually need one depends on your marketing strategy, planned usage, and financing. We clarify these three points in our decision tree before recommending a system.
Which certification would you recommend – Silver, Gold, or Platinum?
For new builds and renovations, Gold is the standard. Platinum is worthwhile for flagship projects and properties occupied by the corporations themselves.
What will this cost us in additional planning fees and construction services?
This can only be answered after the analysis. Before that, it is impossible to know what quality the property would achieve without the sustainability standards.
When should we involve you?
Ideally during design phase 2, before the planning contracts are signed. We then incorporate the requirements into the contracts as a specification document.
What happens after the project check?
You decide if and how to proceed. The strategy roadmap is designed so that you can also use it internally.
