Factor4 pioneers with Pay-4-Performance programs
Together with other European energy experts, Factor4 developed a methodology for realizing Pay-4-Performance (“P4P”) programs in the built environment.
Together with other European energy experts, Factor4 developed a methodology for realizing Pay-4-Performance (“P4P”) programs in the built environment. Pay-4-Performance allows to efficiently realize energy renovations in large groups of buildings.
The following 7 videos explain in plain language the advantages and possibilities of these programs in Belgium and other European member states. Factor4 developed these English-language videos as part of the European research and innovation program Horizon 2020.
1: P4P programs in buildings: the general concept
2: What benefits do P4P programs in buildings generate for the electricity generation and distribution system?
3: How can P4P programs boost a carbon-neutral society?
4: How do you manage a P4P program?
5: Hoe de eerste P4P- pilotprogramma’s opzetten?
6: Hoe kunnen P4P-programma’s derde partijfinanciering mogelijk maken?
7: Dank je wel!

15 years of experience with NEN 2767: the maintenance standard that has taken Belgium by storm
In 2010, Factor4 was the first Belgian consultancy firm to examine the then relatively new and promising Dutch standard NEN 2767. This standard makes it possible to assess the technical condition of building components and installations in a uniform, objective, and reproducible manner.
Are you already familiar with our integrated approach combining EPC-NR, energy audits, and condition assessments?
As a building manager, you have to juggle many responsibilities at the same time. You must comply with increasingly stringent energy and climate regulations (such as EPC NR), organise structural and cost-efficient maintenance (through condition assessments and MJOPs), and at the same time keep energy costs under control through targeted energy audits. In practice, these trajectories often run in parallel, while the associated data is scattered across different systems and reports. As a result, the overall overview is lost — costing both time and money.
VDAB takes major steps toward greater workplace comfort
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 the winter 2024-2025 to assess how employees experience their workplace comfort. The result? A noticeable improvement in both satisfaction and overall well-being at work.
