On the road to climate-driven obsolescence?
The topic of sustainable property forms the backbone of today’s real estate projects.
Property values could potentially be harmed by the recent phenomenon of climate change, which unfortunately shows no signs of stopping. Torrential rainfall and flooding have a detrimental effect on a building’s plumbing and electrical installations. Droughts have a considerable impact on a building’s foundations.
As part of its mission to guarantee asset integrity and performance as well as personal safety, SOCOTEC plays an instrumental role in real estate projects through the building’s lifecycle. As such, it was our responsibility to address the key issue of climate change. We have combined our expertise within a new sustainable property subsidiary, called SOCOTEC Immobilier Durable, with the aim of building trust and safety in a sustainable world.
