Our Mission Our core mission is to collaboratively accelerate market transformation towards a climate positive Europe. We will achieve this, by collaboration, facilitating cross-sectoral dialogue and providing sectoral insights and tangible solutions for the most pressing challenges faced by the construction and real estate stakeholder community. © DGNB 5 | © DGNB
Unique Approach CPEA works with a collaborative bottom-up, market-focused capacity building approach. All of our the activities-and projects are based on years of extensive, first-hand experience in the area of the sustainability certification of individual buildings and districts. Based on the common European DGNB methodology this data-driven and fact based approach covers the whole range of life-cycle-assessment, life-cycle costing and building material requirements and aspects of indoor air quality and comfort aspects. © DGNB 6 | © DGNB
Sustainable Finance CPEA Thematic Focus Building on the findings of the EU Taxonomy Market-Readiness Study and the work of its European ESG Group, CPEA will continue to Sustainable support the work of the EU Commission and the Sustainable Finance Platform in developing Finance technical screening criteria for the remaining four (Taxonomy &ESG) environmental objectives. Buildings and the SDGs CPEA will work with EU institutions and representatives towards having the SDGs as a focal point when developing building policy. Buildings Circular and the Circular Economy Economy SDGs CPEA will increase awareness of these aspects and associated instruments to strengthen the understanding and use of the European building stock as “urban mine”. Building Data and Information Building Data and CPEA will support the establishment of standardised central data repository where Information all relevant life cycle building information is stored or tagged to. 7 | © DGNB

The Case Studies New Construction Renovation Acquisition and Ownership 22 4 36 15 | © DGNB
Tangible results: Reports & Recommendations I. Evaluation of the market-readiness of proposed ‘EU Taxonomy Screening Criteria’ for buildings (3/2021) II. Recommendations to the European Commission & the Sustainable Finance Platform (12/2020) III. Company specific reports (confidential) with specific “Taxonomy Check“ results and recommendations 16 |
Market-readiness for Taxonomy screening criteria: Main assessment results New Construction & Renovation projects had least difficulty in proving criteria eligibility. Their non-eligibility was mainly due to unavailable data for the DNSH criteria. Acquisition & Ownership projects could prove eligibility for only one third of the criteria. The Acquisition & Ownership projects are mostly non- eligible in the climate change mitigation criteria due to low performance and missing benchmarks and have data gaps in DNSH criteria 17 | © DGNB
Market-readiness for Taxonomy screening criteria: Main assessment results Out of the 62 buildings, 26 were certified Certified projects could prove their eligibility more often Buildings, which performed better, had data of higher quality and data that was much better accessible, hence required less time and effort 18 | © DGNB
Market-readiness for business activity: New Construction (22 projects) Half of the buildings could fulfil more than 2/3 of the criteria, only two buildings were close to be fully eligible Residential buildings could better prove their eligibility Smaller buildings could prove overall eligibility, while bigger buildings more often had insufficient data Non-certified buildings were more likely to have insufficient data (especially in regard to DNSH criteria) Spanish and Austrian projects could prove CCM criteria, but had difficulty in proving DNSH criteria, while Danish projects could fulfil most DNSH requirements • Climate Change Adaptation followed by Pollution prevention and Circular Economy are the most difficult DNSH criteria 19 | © DGNB
Market-readiness for business activity: Renovation (4 projects) All projects were able to prove their eligibility to the Climate Change Mitigation criteria Even more obvious than in new constructions, Climate Change Adaptation, Circular Economy and Pollution Prevention were the most difficult DNSH criteria 20 | © DGNB
Market readiness for business activity: Acquisition & Ownership (36 projects) Only one building was rated fully eligible and only 15% of the buildings could fulfil more than 2/3 of criteria 60 % of the projects were non-eligible to the climate change mitigation criteria: missing primary energy data Buildings built after 2005 were more likely to be eligible On average 66 % of the projects were rated as non- eligible or unrateable due to missing data for DNSH Larger assets had more data blind spots than smaller Certified projects were more likely to prove eligibility Austrian and Danish projects had enough data to assess a project’s eligibility, while projects in Germany had insufficient data for around half of the requirements 21 | © DGNB
Summary & Recommendations • EC: • EC: • EC: • Install roadmap for the Taxonomy criteria • Improve definition of CCM criteria for A&O • Introduce recognition of certification to prepare the market. Roadmap should (benchmarks) and the applicability of the schemes include higher ambition, climate metrics / climate change adaptation criteria. targets and expanded scope of GHG • Balance CCM and DNSH criteria properly • Market: emissions. to stimulate the market. • Recognize benefits of certifications, especially regarding lower effort, higher • Market: • Market: reliability and holistic, future-proof • Prepare for higher future climate change • Build up inhouse capacities, collect & sustainability performance. mitigation ambitions. properly store relevant data during • Invest into transition of existing buildings acquisition and management processes. and use climate action roadmaps. • Use certification schemes to improve performance of your building stock. „For new buildings and „Certified buildings could prove „Half of the new buildings but renovations the climate change eligibility more often, performed only 15% of the assessed mitigation criteria is not too better, had data of higher quality existing buildings could fulfil at ambitious but DNSH criteria are and the data was much better least 2/3 of all criteria.“ a burden for many.“ accessible.”
Are the proposed Taxonomy Criteria applicable and is the market ready for the criteria? Partly. Market should be better prepared and some of the criteria need improvement. Bild von Arek Socha auf Pixabay 23 |

38 Addressing core data challenges “For a successful roll-out and application of the EU 1. Storage Taxonomy, current efforts by various stakeholders No centralised storage location across Europe and beyond to develop and roll out 2. Reporting whole life cycle building data and information Too many different, non-harmonised reporting obligations repositories should be stepped up and supported 3. Availability by governments and the industry… Data not or only partially available Having a central data repository where all 4. Collection relevant life cycle building information could be No standardised data collection format stored or tagged to in a standardised way, 5. Accessibility would increase market participants’ in-house Data not accessible capacity for capturing and subsequently managing data needed for reporting against the EU Taxonomy 6. Quality Lack of quality proofed data and increase market buy-in, both at single asset as Source: Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction well as at portfolio level.” Source: Taxonomy Market-Readiness Study

Step 2: Assessing data quality: Sustainable Data Analytics Why do we need this? • Massive investments needed to achieve Paris goal and SDGs • Risk managers currently don’t use data regarding the sustainability of buildings • One major reason is that they don’t trust (lack of quality) and understand available data Scope, objectives and desired outputs • In collaboration with risk managers of investors, banks and insurance companies develop a process to assess the quality of available sustainability data as illustrated below:
