In this week’s Energy Enablers, David Weston speaks to Lisette van Doorn, CEO of ULI Europe, a nonprofit research and education organisation focused on land use and real estate development disciplines.
In this episode, Lisette warns that the real estate sector is not factoring in the cost of doing nothing when valuing their assets.
As buyers and building users become more aware of the carbon footprint of a building, owners will need to consider the green credentials of their property when valuing it. Less efficient buildings are going to fall in value. •

The European Commission should include clean heat standards in its forthcoming Net Zero Industry Act to force industry and enable consumers to switch from fossil fuel boilers to lower-emitting heat pumps, concludes a new report from the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP)
Switching all conventional light points to LEDs is one of the easiest, quickest and most cost-effective ways of reducing energy consumption, says Alice Steenland from Signify
Two Parisian networks illustrate the old versus the new when it comes to district heating systems. Installing the next generation of district heating networks, while upgrading existing infrastructure, will accelerate the energy transition, says Sem Oxenaar from the Regulatory Assistance Project
Building controls are a prime example of where artificial intelligence (AI) can support and accelerate the energy transition. With emissions from building use continuing to grow, effective efficiency tools are becoming more important
Europe’s built environment is the single largest consumer of energy. It is also one of the largest emitters of carbon dioxide. But while the building stock’s carbon footprint may be big, it also has a superpower that can be unlocked using energy-efficient renovations, says David Ducarme from Knauf Insulation
Much of Europe’s district heating sector has been around for decades. But a lack of investment and cohesive thinking since then means many systems are lagging behind on their decarbonisation pathways, says Sem Oxenaar from the Regulatory Assistance Project
To make district heating happen we need to implement local heat planning, build societal trust and update regulatory frameworks. Without these, the switch to clean heat will be more costly and important system benefits could fail to materialise, warns Sem Oxenaar from the Regulatory Assistance Project
Community groups trying to improve the green credentials of Edinburgh’s historic buildings, while battling lethargic public authorities and high upfront costs, are hoping small changes can make a big difference
