Making real estate more sustainable, ESG and sustainability paragraph DuPa 2.0

Efficient and automatic integration and sustainability paragraph DuPa 2.0 in valuations

The Dutch Banking Association, together with the major appraisal firms and the Association of Institutional Real Estate Investors, has introduced a new sustainability section (DuPa) 2.0.

At the request of the banks, this section must be included in appraisal reports starting mid-February. Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors will also be considered when calculating the market value of real estate. If the appraiser does not include a sustainability section in the appraisal report, it will be returned.

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important for real estate values, whether or not driven by regulations. Therefore, it is important to know how a building scores in terms of energy performance and climate risks, and how future-proof it is. The new sustainability section, DuPa 2.0, must record information on, among other things, the actual and standardized energy consumption in the building, installations, insulation, and flood, earthquake, and land subsidence risks.

By doing so, banks are making a positive contribution to sustainability and helping their clients make their real estate more sustainable. The section forces appraisers to link real estate values to sustainability and climate risks.

Oxand, together with Blue Module and FluX, is committed to the efficient integration of the sustainability section 2.0 into valuation reports. With FluX (market leader in valuation management software) and Blue Module (bank-recognized provider of ESG data), it will be possible to enter the new sustainability section into FluX’s valuation software, as well as through Blue Module’s software, starting in mid-February 2024. Oxand will provide the required information on sustainability costs and measures.

Distinctive long-term scenario approach and methodology to make real estate more sustainable

The new sustainability section aligns with ESG reporting. Listed and large organizations are already required to report on their sustainability policies and associated performance and risks. A growing number of companies are, or are already, working with ESG.

Oxand is committed to stimulating and accelerating the sustainability of real estate. We do this with a practical and data-driven approach.

Data is becoming increasingly important. With data, fact-based analyses can be performed, making the impact of ESG and climate on real estate much clearer, more reliable, and more predictable. Oxand has been collecting real estate data for over 20 years. This provides information on more than 50 million square meters of real estate. This includes aging data and energy performance data for building components, maintenance and replacement costs, and sustainability improvements. It also provides information on the impact of measures on the costs, risks, lifespan, and sustainability performance of real estate.

Using client data and our real estate data, we quickly create geographically transparent, measurable, and concrete real estate portfolios to maintain continuous insight, enable timely adjustments, and stay in control.

With a distinctive scenario approach and methodology, we can use the data to (substantiately) calculate and compare various sustainability scenarios. This allows for a clear overview of the impact of (necessary and desired) sustainability measures on the costs, risks, and performance of real estate, both now and in the future.

Investments can be spread out over time in these scenarios, for example, due to budget constraints, risks, and/or phased sustainability implementations for 2030, 2040, and 2050. Furthermore, the correlation with a multi-year maintenance plan (MJOP/DMJOP), multi-year investment forecast (MOIP), or long-term asset programming (LTAP) can be incorporated.

In this way, we contribute to:

  • The right (investment) decisions
  • Factual basis for decision-making
  • Professionalization of the real estate portfolio
  • Monitoring risks
  • Actually achieving (Paris-proof) objectives
