EU taxonomy: Top 15% benchmarks Study from Drees & Sommer

The vdp and the consultancy firm Drees & Sommer have presented a benchmarking system that supports banks in providing proof of compliance with the EU taxonomy for property financing.
Specifically, benchmarks are derived to fulfil the so-called top 15% criterion. The benchmarks and methodology report compiled by Drees & Sommer for the German property market and the residential, office, retail and logistics asset classes were explained in detail in an online seminar organised by the vdpPfandbriefAkademie. You can find the recording in your Valuers Corner (in German). 

The top 15% benchmarks for offices based on the building standard (EnEV 2014 or better) were adapted for non-residential buildings. In addition to the threshold values based on energy-related building standards, recommendations for top 15% benchmarks are now also provided for offices, retail and logistics in relation to the 

  • primary energy demand, 
  • final energy demand,
  • primary energy consumption and
  • final energy consumption
  • in kWh/m²a as well as the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions in kgCO2/m²a. 

In addition, the above-mentioned asset classes are further segmented according to size, type of use and ventilation/air conditioning on the basis of energy consumption certificates and the individual segments are assigned top 15% benchmarks - expressed in kWh/m2a and divided into energy consumption for electricity and heat. 

Equivalent greenhouse gas emissions are now also shown for residential buildings. In addition, the benchmarks for apartment blocks have been updated. 

The study is now available in our shop and Drees & Sommer grants vdpResearch GmbH the right to use the results and documents provided and compiled in the project for the member institutions of its shareholders (the vdp, the BVR and Deutscher Sparkassen Verlag GmbH).

Review EXPO REAL 2023

With more than 40,000 visitors from 70 countries, EXPO REAL 2023 trade fair in Munich was once again the industry meeting place of the year.

The HypZert joint stand, with its stylish sustainable urban gardening design and thus a small green oasis at the trade fair, was once again a very well-attended meeting place for the entire real estate valuation sector. Four networking events in two days at our stand emphasised the relevance of exchange and networking. These included the Women's Network for Property Financing, where female professionals from across the industry came together to exchange ideas. Also, a letter of intent was signed with the RICS to renew our cooperation. Our Approved by HypZert valuation companies once again hosted the traditional reception on the first day of the fair. 

For all those who were unable to attend this year, there is a short film review here. And for all those who were there: A nice memory and maybe you can be seen too.
