Sonnevanck VastgoedSustainable property keeps its value
Since 2023, offices without at least energy label C may no longer be used as offices in the Netherlands. Tenants and investors increasingly ask for label A. Sustainability is therefore no longer a cost item but a condition for keeping your building marketable.
The legal requirements
For offices the label obligation already applies. Stricter requirements are coming for other functions, and banks increasingly set sustainability requirements when financing. Those who upgrade now are ahead of rules that are coming anyway.
Where you gain the most
- Insulation of roof, facade and glazing
- Heat pumps instead of gas-fired installations
- LED lighting and smart controls
- Solar panels on the roof or car park
The effect on the operation
Lower energy costs make a building more attractive to tenants and increase net rental income. On sale, the market attributes a lower risk and therefore a higher value to a building with label A.
Upgrading during redevelopment
At Sonnevanck Vastgoed sustainability is the standard: new construction is gas-free and in redevelopment we upgrade existing buildings to energy label A. We are happy to advise you on the possibilities for your building.
