Our buildings accounts for a large proportion of the overall climate and environmental impact. By improving the properties premises in new buildings and develop an energy efficient management approach for administration large gains can be made, both for society as for individual property owners. There are several different energy and environmental certification systems that can be used by property owners: for example BREEAM and LEED, and the European Green Building.
ÅF has a long experience of working with environmental and energy issues in buildings. Our combined expertise in many fields can help you as property owner or manager through the entire certification process: everything from finding the certification that is most optimal for your business to analyze and evaluate the measures that will give you the certification.
We work with software for advanced simulation to optimize energy systems in new buildings, environmental labeling and certification of energy-efficient buildings and investigations and analysis in the field. The latter can include both incentives for tenants and instruments at national level for energy efficiency.
The advantage of certification is undisputable. It gives the property owner a clear plan to follow and make operations more efficient and sustainable. It can also be used when communicating sustainable and environmental performance to the market increasing the market value of the building.
