There is an increasing demand for climate risk analyses from the real estate sector. A climate risk analysis provides an assessment of the physical risks of climate change for a building. Real estate parties and scientists want a level playing field, based on open climate data and full transparency about the methods used. You can read more about this in an article in Nature Communications published in August 2022.
Together with the Dutch Green Building Council (DGBC) and many other parties, we have therefore developed an approach to assess physical climate risk for buildings: the Framework for Climate Adaptive Buidlings. This framework comprises three steps. CAS collaborated on the first step. It allows you to assess the riskis of climate change for the building’s immediate environment. This is also called the ‘gross climate risk’ for buildings. The DBGC published the first step of this Framework in November 2022.
