Green transition: How the real estate industry is moving towards decarbonisation!
22 February 2024 - Reading time: 7 minutes
Decarbonisation, i.e. the reduction of carbon emissions, is not only a global challenge, but also a decisive step on the way to a sustainable future.
These efforts play a key role in the property industry in particular, as around 40% of global CO₂ emissions come from this sector.
It requires the use of advanced and innovative solution strategies: Individualised solutions that are perfectly tailored to the wishes of prospective property buyers are very popular. Starting with the design, budgeting, financial management, installation and maintenance – there are numerous aspects to consider and specialist expertise is essential.
Read this article to find out how VODASUN can support the property sector in driving forward decarbonisation!
Strategies for decarbonisation in the real estate sector
The property industry faces the challenge of significantly reducing its CO₂ emissions in order to contribute to global climate protection. A key strategy for achieving this goal is to optimise the use of unused roof surfaces by installing solar systems.
This approach makes it possible to produce environmentally friendly electricity directly on site, which reduces the need for energy from conventional fossil sources and thus significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the properties.
This not only creates a sustainable solution for the buildings, but also sets direct signals for the company’s own ESG rating (Environmental, Social & Governance) – you can find out more about ESG here.

Sustainable transformation: long-term benefits for the property sector
The implementation of energy-efficient solar systems on building roofs is a key factor in the positive development of the property sector. These technologies offer a variety of long-term benefits that not only reduce operating costs, but also help to maintain and increase the value of properties. The main advantages are highlighted below:
Long-term cost savings:
-
The use of energy-efficient solar systems on building roofs creates added value through the utilisation of self-generated solar power, which reduces the need for conventional energy.
Value retention and value enhancement:
-
Properties that integrate sustainable technologies not only meet current environmental standards, but are also future-proof. This leads to sustainable value retention and potential value appreciation, making the properties more attractive to a wide range of stakeholders.
Attractiveness for tenants and investors:
-
The demand for sustainable properties is growing steadily, especially in a society that is becoming increasingly environmentally aware. Both tenants and investors favour properties that contribute to environmental protection and represent ethical values.
Questions?
Our conclusion: Great opportunity for property investors
Promoting decarbonisation in the property sector goes beyond an ethical obligation and offers the opportunity to make a significant contribution to a more sustainable future.
The integration of solar systems and other green technologies opens up ways to increase energy efficiency, minimise the environmental impact and increase the attractiveness of properties.
The transition to a decarbonised and sustainable real estate landscape can be successfully shaped through the cooperation of all parties involved.
