Our Forward Thinkers Dries Geenen, Charline Herpoel, Michaela Vernimmen and Lise Ongena are assisting the client Herfurth Group and our partner Montea in realising a new sustainable logistics building, next to Amazon on the d'Herbouvillekaai. Our experts assist in the ✅ selection of the best construction scenario, ✅ following up a rigorous planning, ✅ coordination and execution in terms of performance, budget and timeframe And they supervise the #BREEAM certification process towards the Excellent rating. The integration of #LCA calculations and the choice of performance-based tendering entailed optimising the new construction for sustainability, environmental impact and cost-effectiveness. ➡️ Through a scenario analysis of the different structure proposals, the decision was made to use an X-carb steel deck instead of the traditional steel deck, but also the choice of timber frame construction brought a significant reduction in CO2. An attractive dual choice that fits perfectly with modern priorities of green building and quick project realisation. 👉 Interested in how we help you grow your sustainable building: https://lnkd.in/eAvQi4tN #ProjectManagement #TimberFrameConstruction #CO2reduction

🗣 Our Forward Thinkers Lise Ongena and Charlotte Truyts in conversation with Przemysław Kastyak and Agnieszka Koniewicz (PhD) highlighting #greenenergy in #realestate. ✔ Associating green energy into commercial real estate not only aligns with #ESGprinciples but also provides tangible benefits such as attracting responsible investors, meeting tenant demands, and improving market competitiveness. ✔ The integration of green energy into CCREM strategies is essential for creating efficient and future-proof commercial #realestateportfolios. ✔ Green leases provide the contractual framework that encourages or mandates the adoption of green energy and other sustainable practices. This alignment not only benefits the environment but also offers financial advantages, enhances #propertyvalue, and supports regulatory compliance. ✔ Solar panels help reduce #carbonemissions, lower energy costs, enhance energy resilience, and support compliance with sustainability standards. This synergy between solar panels and green energy initiatives underscores the importance of renewable energy in creating sustainable and energetic commercial properties. ✔ Power Purchase Agreements (PPA's) provide a method to secure long-term renewable energy supply, stabilize energy costs, and mitigate operational risks. By entering into #PPAs, commercial real estate owners can effectively advance their green energy initiatives and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
