A development by noventic shows that climate protection can be very simple: The 'Cards' app playfully involves tenants in actively saving energy on a daily basis and, as a side effect, helps to protect the building fabric. The app was awarded the Innovation Prize by the German Property Federation (ZIA) at the Real Estate Industry Day on 13 June 2018.
Warm rooms, a good indoor climate - with lower energy consumption costs. And doing something for climate protection at the same time. That sounds good - but it costs money to produce. In the public perception, energy-efficient refurbishment of buildings is often accompanied by rent increases that make your own home unaffordable. Is that true?
The German Energy Agency has published the first interim results of its flagship study 'Integrated Energy Transition'. The interim results show that digitalisation and technology-neutral solutions can reduce CO2 emissions in Germany by up to 90 per cent by 2050.
The convergence of climate change and digitalisation presents building owners with a unique opportunity to enhance economic efficiency and climate protection simultaneously. This can be achieved through climate-intelligent property management, which integrates these two objectives in a mutually reinforcing manner.
