Awareness of the need to reduce consumption of natural resources has never been so high. Logically, the ecological expectations of consumers, whether professionals or private individuals, are growing as a result.
Yet the current poor energy performance of buildings represents a colossal source of savings. And the tertiary sector alone accounts for not only 25% of buildings, but also 33% of greenhouse gas emissions.
So it’s hardly surprising that regulations governing the energy consumption of commercial property are becoming more stringent by the year, and that certifications and labels are multiplying.
While this certainly creates new constraints, it can also be a source of opportunities:
- To genuinely increase the value and attractiveness of its assets
- And to enhance your image as an investor.
Provided, of course, that you know how to choose :
- The reporting and communication vehicles that suit you best,
- The right tools for measuring consumption,
- And above all, the most effective strategy for controlling and reducing consumption.
We offer you an overview of the regulations, labels and standards incorporating the notion of energy performance in buildings.
For each of them, we also provide a detailed description.
You’ll find out what their scope and expectations are, as well as how iQspot can help you meet them or obtain them.
