The importance of the ecological footprint for the real estate industry is steadily increasing
The EU has set itself the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. With buildings accounting for 25% of greenhouse gas emissions, a major focus is on the energy efficiency of buildings.1
By 2030, the legal obligation to disclose sustainability risks will apply to all new buildings.2
Building permits are increasingly being made dependent on sustainability factors.
Green investments are becoming increasingly important for banks.

‘The ecological balance of buildings cannot determine the market value of a property when viewed in isolation. However, the classic income approach does not adequately reflect market value if the relevant ecological indicators are not taken into account. The msg.eva.real solution integrates both perspectives.’
