Investing in comfortable workplaces pays off. VDAB proves this with the results of its most recent Comfortmeter survey, conducted by Factor4. After the first measurement in 2017, a new survey was carried out in 2024 to assess how employees experience their workplace comfort. The result? A noticeable improvement in both satisfaction and overall well-being at work.

Building energy regulations are undergoing a major update. Whereas previously each individual building had to comply with the EPC label requirement, it will soon be possible to meet this requirement at the portfolio level.

This change makes the strategic real estate plan more important than ever: it becomes the key instrument to meet legal obligations efficiently while achieving the greatest sustainable impact.
