Redevco with pilot for portfolio re-certification
Redevco launches a pilot project to re-certify its real estate portfolio in the DACH region as well as in Hungary. Bilfinger Bauperformance was commissioned with this first BREEAM inventory certification worldwide.
Redevco has certified nearly its entire portfolio of retail properties to BREEAM stock since 2012. The certification of individual buildings requires annual renewal in order to maintain the certificate. As part of the pilot project, Bilfinger Bauperformance will now carry out the certification on a sample basis.
The certified assets in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Hungary - currently 73 - will be subjected to a random sample-based audit and assessment process. Obtaining the certificates for the entire portfolio can thus be achieved in a new and more cost-effective way, writes Bilfinger Bauperformance in a media release.
Dr. Kati Herzog, responsible for certifications and green labels at Bilfinger Bauperformance, accompanied the introduction of BREEAM stock in Germany as a system expert. She says: "The certification system is internationally transparent and comparable and at the same time tailored to national requirements. This pilot breaks new ground in managing portfolios in a cost-efficient and sustainable way and optimizing them for the future."
