Factor4 supports ANB in its strategic real estate planning
The Agency for Nature and Forests (ANB) is taking an important step towards a sustainable and efficiently managed real estate heritage. With a thorough inventory and a strategic real estate plan, Factor4 is helping them on their way to climate neutrality by 2050. How do we tackle this? Find out here!
Factor4 supports the Agency for Nature and Forests (ANB) in an important project to prepare their real estate portfolio for the future.
The project started with a thorough inventory of all ANB's real estate. Factor4 carried this out in collaboration with Freestone. During this phase, we carried out numerous site visits and carefully mapped out the condition and energy efficiency of the building envelope and the technical installations. In addition, we evaluated the current use, typology, function and future-proofing potential of the buildings. This comprehensive analysis resulted in a detailed inventory of as many as 250 buildings, clearly defining the current condition of each building.
With the inventory as a solid foundation, Factor4 took the next step: developing a strategic real estate plan. This strategic exercise will help ANB to:
- Manage their patrimony efficiently and cost-effectively.
- Make long-term decisions that contribute to sustainability and value creation.
- Make their buildings more sustainable and climate-neutral by 2050.
The strategic plan not only provides ANB with a clear roadmap for sustainability, but also ensures optimal resource allocation. The careful planning of renovations and investments allows to minimize both the financial and operational impact.

EPC Label requirement at portfolio level: A game-changer for strategic real estate management
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 gives property owners, from school networks to real estate portfolio managers, far greater strategic freedom to phase renovations intelligently and allocate resources more effectively. 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.
