Toward a low-emission real estate sector

According to the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), the real estate sector accounts for approximately 22% of total GHG emissions in Switzerland, primarily driven by energy consumption in buildings. Decarbonising this sector is crucial for achieving the national climate targets. IAZI equips clients with services and tools that support data-driven, emissions-related decision-making, enabling actions that align with reduction goals and driving meaningful progress within the sector.

IAZI’s energy and CO₂ calculator and investment calculator allow clients to assess the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions of buildings, giving insights into current energy performance as well as future renovation needs. These tools enable real estate agents to provide clients with a data-driven assessment of a property’s energy profile, even without an official energy certificate (CBEC).

IAZI also provides property assessment, evaluation, and benchmarking services for asset managers and banks. With this range of offerings, clients gain insights into energy labels, usage patterns, and potential short- and medium-term renovation needs that can enhance property value. IAZI’s assessments deliver valuable sustainability metrics to support informed and responsible investment decisions.

The evaluation model has already been applied to over 800,000 properties across Switzerland, with a strong focus on energy efficiency and emissions. In addition, IAZI supports clients with emissions management services, facilitating the monitoring of property-related emissions. The resulting insights enable actions like the issuance of green bonds and the financing of environmentally friendly projects.

Our Real Estate business offers several service packages which include IAZI’s advanced tools, making sustainability solutions more accessible. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are developing new versions for third-party use, enabling our partners to assist their clients in optimising and reducing CO₂ emissions, further advancing sustainability across the real estate sector.
