Decarbonisation in the commercial property sector

Smart building solutions: How to accelerate decarbonisation in commercial property

The commercial property sector faces growing pressure to meet tightening energy efficiency standards as national and regional governments look to accelerate progress towards decarbonization goals.

For building owners and investors, the challenge is to achieve better energy efficiency without compromising tenant comfort or operational performance in buildings.   

Priva Energy Insight by ErbisOne, developed by our sister company Vanbeek, provides a clear and actionable overview of all energy flows within a building. This cloud-based platform collects energy data from a variety of sources and converts it into meaningful insights. By enabling comprehensive monitoring, Priva Energy Insight supports smarter energy use and helps reduce buildings’ carbon footprint efficiently.

Understanding the Challenge

 

According to the EU Buildings Climate Tracker, the EU is facing a considerable gap in its progress towards climate neutrality . To achieve its 2050 goals, the EU must rapidly accelerate the rate of decarbonisation in the built environment sector. The UK faces a similar challenge. Research by the UK Green Building Council finds that between 2018 and 2022, emissions from the sector fell by 13% – below the 19% reduction required to align with Net Zero goals. The sector needs to decarbonise almost twice as fast over the next few years to get back to the Net Zero trajectory. 

 

To push decarbonisation in the built environment, mandates like the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the UK’s Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) are tightening requirements for building performance. Businesses, from investors and landlords to tenants, also increasingly need to report on their Environmental Social Governance (ESG) impacts. Energy retrofits are becoming crucial for buildings to remain competitive astenant demand shifts towards more sustainable spaces.
