We advise our clients on all aspects associated with Existing Buildings:
A Due Diligence is a detailed technical report or audit of a building, where building facilities and finishes are verified.
It can be a legal obligation, but the term will more commonly apply to voluntary investigations to evaluate a possible investment
in a real estate, having clear and precise arguments to negotiate before reaching an agreement or deal with the another part.
The following points are checked:
According to this analysis the costs are evaluated:
All information obtained is a valuable tool when it comes to make decisions about the building.
The Energy Audit is carried out just after of the Energy Certification once indicated patterns to follow. It is a study
developed to optimize the amount of energy used in the building in order to improve its energy efficiency.
Identifying, assessing and organizing the different energy saving opportunities based on their profitability, getting a
reliable knowledge of current energy consumption. Entailing a energy saving and, as a consequence, economic one for the building
premises.
The main aim is to reduce energy consumption when the object of study is an occupied building, keeping and improving at the
same time hygrothermal comfort, sanitation and safety.
The objective is to achieve more efficient buildings through improvements in the building envelope, HVAC systems and lighting.
The cost saving and the improved environmental impact of our building.
The actions to be taken can be designed in phases, according to the possibilities of the system, grants and initial
objectives.
In the case of residential buildings, the cost of an Energy Saving Study is minimal: About 30 euros
per household for a block of 100 houses.
Some of the measures mean zero investment and immediate benefit, as the
renegotiation of contracts with companies, obtaining a rapid recovery of the audit costs.
The rerecovery time of other measures can range from one year to seven years.
After an Energy Audit the next step will be the Energy Building Refurbishment according to the recommendations of the audit.
After reaping the rewards with the amortization of the investment.
There are approximately a 70% of buildings built ten years ago without taking into account the isolation measures considered basic
today.
The main profits are immediate economic savings and more comfortable buildings.
It is estimated that the cost of implementing these measures is depreciated over 10 years, giving
real cases of seven years.
The amount of energy criteria can represent the 10% of a refurbishment work. It is about a reasonable
cost, especially given the continous increase in the energy prices.
Its purpose is the provision of appropriate expertise in order to get the best way of solving the problems started out in the
maintenance and operation of facilities, as well as vigilance in compliance with them and their results.
The objective is to control the building maintenance companies, in spite of not being very commun. Under no circumstances,
these services, whose competitions and responsabilities are well defined, will be subtituted or reduced.
They are available to the Property Management to watch the right compliance with the maintenance duties and the establishment
of the corrective measures in the advertised faults.
