New EU Buildings Directive in force from 2023

We have summarised all the important information for you in this slideshow.

EU decarbonisation target for 2050

Environmental crisis: Heat waves, storms, floods

Climate change demands a transformation of the construction and real estate industry. Otherwise it will not be possible to achieve the Paris Agreement.

Future-proof building planning

Climate-friendly energy consumption and the economical use of resources are criteria that define sustainable buildings. Especially in terms of their economic efficiency and future value retention.

Better property price performance

If sustainability criteria are not applied during the planning stage, your properties may lose value or become less profitable in the future.
Our promise

We develop holistic, future-proof properties and help you meet the EU climate targets in good time.

Environmental risks

Climate change calls for buildings that are climate-resilient and well-suited to their surroundings.
Climate protection icon: Cloud with CO2

Climate protection

Building operations must be net zero by 2050 at the latest, according to EU requirements.
Icon circular economy: circuit with leaves

Circular economy

Use of construction materials in the environmental cycle: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Ecological building icon: Smiling emoji over house

Environmental construction

Low-emission construction materials for the wellbeing of residents and staff.
Icon value preservation: Euro sign over building

Value retention

Future-proof planning can increase a building’s useful life and residual value and even the value of the raw materials.
Biodiversity icon: building with trees, clouds and sun

Biodiversity

Building projects that are planned and implemented in harmony with their environment and surroundings.
How we work

We provide all services from a single source.

We optimise the sustainability performance of buildings over a building’s entire life cycle. Our integrated approach allows us to optimally meet the requirements for resource-efficient buildings: From design and planning through to construction and refurbishment to operations.

We have the necessary expertise and know-how to ensure the planning of your building project is optimized for the future.
