Unlocking financial returns through energy efficiency in buildings

Companies prioritising energy efficiency and retrofitting buildings will benefit from lower costs, regulatory resilience, and sustainability, while those waiting for cleaner energy grids may fall behind.
Luca Papapietro

As decarbonisation becomes increasingly urgent, companies are divided on how to address it in real estate. Some rely on cleaner energy grids, while others focus on improving energy efficiency.

Prioritising energy efficiency is vital, as it reduces both emissions and operational costs. Retrofitting buildings, in fact, can unlock significant savings. 

Better energy efficiency also mitigates grid pressure and energy price volatility. Despite the high cost of retrofitting, the economic benefits are clear. Companies that act now will benefit from lower costs, regulatory resilience, and enhanced sustainability credentials.
