Sustainability advice

Future-proof real estate in a changing market

Sustainable real estate is no longer optional – it’s essential. Stricter laws and regulations demand higher standards for energy performance, CO₂ reduction, and circular construction. At the same time, the demand for recognized certifications like BREEAM, WELL, and LEED continues to grow. The challenge for property owners is clear: how to ensure that buildings are future-proof and retain their value?

C2N assists institutional investors, property owners, and developers with practical and effective sustainability consulting. Whether it concerns new developments or existing properties, basic improvements or complex ESG implementation, we deliver solutions that work and generate returns.

_{‍Measuring and improving sustainability}

For those looking to assess and improve the sustainability performance of their real estate, we provide comprehensive baseline assessments with clear improvement advice. We start by evaluating your ambitions, legal obligations, and relevant market trends. Next, we analyze the current condition of your property and formulate effective improvement measures.

_{Our systematic approach:}

1. Measure — Thorough inventory and analysis of energy performance, indoor climate, and environmental impact

2. Understand — Clear insight into what is performing well, what can be improved, and which measures make the most impact

3. Improve — Concrete action plan with realistic measures, aligned with investment potential and regulatio

4. Future-proof — Long-term strategy for sustainable and value-retaining real estate

_{BREEAM certification for existing properties}

Existing buildings are increasingly required to meet stricter energy and sustainability standards, such as energy labels, EED audits, CRREM targets, and EU Taxonomy compliance. Certification through methods like BREEAM-In-Use provides a clear and recognized way to measure, communicate, and improve sustainability.

We support you throughout the entire certification process, from the initial feasibility scan to a detailed action plan and full implementation. We ensure sustainability measures align with your long-term maintenance plan (MJOP), enabling efficient and cost-effective improvements.

_{Certification of new developments}

For new buildings, certification is more the rule than the exception. BREEAM, WELL Building Standard, and LEED are globally recognized labels that demonstrate a building meets the highest sustainability standards.

Our experts manage the entire certification process, from an initial quick scan to successful certification. With nearly 15 years of experience in sustainable certification, we understand the methodologies, requirements, and the best practices for a smooth and efficient process.

_{Smart integration for maximum impact}

Sustainability consulting does not stand alone. At C2N, we integrate our expertise in sustainable real estate, Technical Due Diligence, and project management. This enables us not only to advise but also to guide implementation and ensure your sustainability goals are achieved.
