Carbon neutrality

There are several strategies that can be applied to achieve CO2 neutrality in buildings. A key strategy is to improve the energy efficiency of the building. This can be done in several ways, such as using high-efficiency HVAC systems, insulation and lighting, and applying passive solar design principles. By reducing the amount of energy required to run the building, CO2 emissions can be greatly reduced.

Another strategy is to switch to cleaner energy sources, such as solar or wind power, for heating, cooling and electricity. This can be done through on-site generation, such as installing solar panels on the building's roof, or by buying energy from external, renewable sources.

Building design plays an important role in reducing CO2 emissions and operational costs. Green roofs, shading elements, operable windows and natural ventilation are some of the design principles that help control temperature and energy consumption.

Industrial players, retailers with several branches and governments with extensive real estate assets are increasingly seeing the benefits and even the necessity of betting on renewable energy to meet climate and/or sustainability targets.
