Apleona is a leading Europe-based real-estate facility manager. Here the CEO's views on how building stock s can achieve climate targets.

• Buildings account for 40% of energy consumption in the EU. 75% of EU buildings are still operated at low energy efficiency and 50% of properties are more than 50 years old, it is clearly a gigantic task for the real estate industry to achieve carbon-neutral building stocks.

•  Optimization of existing HVAC technology is important to collect data in a structured way. The internally developed product Enerlutec, which enables a decentralized, digital overview and analysis of all consumption data. 

• Implementing the above methodologies it's easy to achieve energy and CO2 savings of up to 30% without having to make notable investments.

• The overall context of ESG requirements in non-financial reporting obligations is now also a driver for investors and industrial companies. There is a greater demand for integrated FM services and more outsourcing of real estate-related services.

• Apleona as an integrated facility manager already plays an advising and moderating role for many major customers, which extends to taking responsibility for agreed economic targets such as cost savings.
