Green+ Portal: Now also for commercial properties

Commercial buildings offer enormous savings potential

The sustainable transformation of real estate is no longer limited to the residential sector. Commercial properties, which often consume considerably more energy than residential properties, are increasingly the focus of ESG requirements (environmental, social, governance). By integrating commercial properties into the Green+ portal, Purpose Green is closing this crucial gap.

‍

"This update marks a significant milestone for our commercial real estate clients," explains Anton Levitsky, CTO of Purpose Green. "Our platform now offers a comprehensive 360-degree solution for the ESG management of all relevant real estate classes - from small apartment buildings to logistics centers."

‍

The challenges for commercial properties

Commercial real estate places special demands on ESG management:

• Complex usage profiles: Unlike residential buildings, commercial buildings often have widely varying usage times and intensities
• Specific technical requirements: Depending on the type of property, there are different requirements for lighting, air conditioning and other technical infrastructure
• Diverse stakeholders: In addition to owners and tenants, customers, patients or visitors often also play an important role
• Higher investment volumes: refurbishment measures for commercial properties usually require more extensive investments than in the residential sector

This complexity makes professional, digital management of refurbishment strategies and ESG compliance particularly valuable for commercial buildings. This is precisely where the expansion of the Green+ portal comes in.

‍

Comprehensive market coverage thanks to the variety of supported property types

With the addition of five central categories of commercial real estate, the Green+ portal now covers practically the entire relevant real estate market:

‍

Office buildings: shaping the working world sustainably

Office properties face particular challenges: On the one hand, they have to accommodate increasingly flexible working models, while on the other, the requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability are increasing. The Green+ Portal offers customized analyses and refurbishment concepts that take into account both business and energy aspects.

‍

Retail: Sustainable retail space as a competitive advantage

In the highly competitive retail sector, sustainability aspects are increasingly becoming a differentiating factor. Customers expect environmentally conscious behavior, while operators are confronted with rising energy costs. The Green+ Portal enables a systematic analysis and optimization of retail units, taking into account the specific requirements for lighting, air conditioning and customer comfort.

‍

Shopping centers & department stores: efficient management of complex structures

Perhaps the most complex retail properties benefit in particular from a digital platform solution. With different tenants, extensive areas and diverse technical systems, shopping centers (malls) offer enormous potential for energy savings and ESG optimizations. The Green+ Portal bundles all relevant data and creates the basis for a structured transformation.

‍

Warehouses and logistics halls: Increasing efficiency on a large scale

Logistics properties play a key role in the modern economy and, due to their size and often outdated building technology, offer considerable potential for savings in terms of energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. With the Green+ Portal, operators and owners can identify and implement the most cost-effective measures to lower operating costs and reduce emissions.

‍

Medical centers and practices: Special requirements in the healthcare sector

Medical facilities place special demands on indoor climate, hygiene and energy supply. At the same time, awareness of sustainable business practices is also growing in the healthcare sector. The Green+ Portal takes into account the special framework conditions and enables ESG optimization tailored to medical facilities.

‍

Proven functionality, new perspectives

The addition of Commercial Buildings uses the proven functions of the Green+ portal and adapts them to the specific requirements of commercial real estate:

• Intuitive recording and management: users can record and manage their commercial properties in the system with just a few clicks
• Precise initial assessment with the Energy Light Report: The calculations specially adapted for commercial properties provide precise initial assessments of the current energy status
• Customized refurbishment packages: Optimal refurbishment strategies are proposed based on the specific characteristics of each property
• Comprehensive profitability analysis: All proposed measures are checked for their economic viability (return on investment)
• Integration into ESG reporting: The data can be seamlessly integrated into ESG reporting and support regulatory requirements

‍

Who benefits from enlargement?

The integration of Commercial Buildings opens up the Green+ Portal to numerous new user groups:

‍

Real estate owners and asset managers

For owners of mixed portfolios, the expansion offers a decisive advantage: they can now manage and optimize their entire property portfolio on a single platform. The uniform database enables consistent strategies and efficient reporting.

‍

Real estate managers and property managers

Estate agents, property managers and facility managers can now offer their clients a more comprehensive service. The expansion of the Green+ portal for commercial buildings enables them to offer sound advice on ESG management for commercial properties as well, thereby expanding their service portfolio.

‍

Banks and financial service providers

The ESG assessment of real estate is becoming increasingly important for banks and financiers. The Green+ Portal provides the necessary transparency and database to better assess risks and develop sustainability-oriented financing models for the commercial real estate sector.

‍

Outlook: Continuous further development

The integration of commercial buildings is just the beginning of an ambitious roadmap from the tech team at Purpose Green. The energy measure configurator for commercial properties will also be available as early as July 2025, which will further improve the planning and reporting options for commercial properties.

"We are continuously developing the Green+ portal to provide our customers with the best tools for the sustainable transformation of their properties," explains Lennart Christel, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Purpose Green. "The addition of Commercial Buildings is a logical step to further expand our leading position in the market."

‍

Conclusion: A significant milestone for sustainable real estate management for commercial properties

With the integration of Commercial Buildings into the Green+ portal, Purpose Green is setting an important milestone for the entire real estate industry. The platform now offers a comprehensive solution for the professional ESG management of all relevant real estate classes and supports all players in the real estate industry in making their portfolios fit for the future.

The expansion comes at a crucial time: with increasing regulatory requirements, rising CO₂ prices and growing awareness of the importance of sustainable real estate, professional ESG management is becoming a critical success factor. The Green+ portal offers the ideal digital basis for this - for residential and commercial real estate alike.
