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.
The challenge: lots of data, little overview
Experienced facility and asset managers know this all too well. Over the years, valuable information about buildings is collected, but the overall picture gradually gets lost. Data ends up scattered across different reports and systems, such as:
energy audits
EPC-NR certificates with accompanying graphical (3D) documentation
condition assessments in accordance with NEN 2767
energy monitoring systems
FMIS platforms such as Ultimo, Planon, TOPdesk, and Spacewell
Each document contains relevant insights, but because they exist in isolation, it becomes difficult to identify relationships and make well-founded decisions.
The solution: one integrated system
That is why Factor4 has brought all its processes and tools related to these end products together into a single integrated system. At its core lies a central database in which all buildings, elements, and associated client information are managed consistently and unambiguously.
Each building component is assigned one fixed code and name, used consistently across all applications and reports. This makes information truly comparable and immediately usable.
For example, a flat roof has the same identity throughout Factor4’s ecosystem:
in the energy audit, where insulation measures are calculated
in the condition assessment, where defects and condition scores of the roofing are recorded
in the graphical EPC-NR file, where the exact location is instantly clear
In addition, all our tools use the same consistent structure for each client’s portfolio, organised into sites and buildings. This allows energy consumption data from the energy monitoring system to be directly linked to the results of an energy audit or the condition state of that very same building.
Your benefits
This integrated approach delivers immediate and tangible benefits:
Significantly lower costs thanks to efficient processes and data reuse
No more fragmented reports — everything in one place
Full insight into energy performance, technical condition, and maintenance
Better decision-making based on one consistent and reliable dataset
Future-ready, with a solid foundation for long-term management and strategic investments
With Factor4, you turn data into a powerful steering instrument for sustainable and cost-efficient building management.

Als gebouwbeheerder moet je veel bordjes omhoog houden. Je moet voldoen aan steeds strengere energie- en klimaatwetgeving (zoals EPC NR), structureel en kostenefficiënt onderhoud organiseren (via onder andere conditiemetingen en MJOP’s) én tegelijk de energiekosten onder controle houden met gerichte energie-audits. In de praktijk lopen deze trajecten vaak door elkaar, terwijl de bijhorende data verspreid zit over verschillende systemen en rapporten. Het overzicht raakt zoek en dat kost tijd en geld.

In 2010 onderzocht Factor4 als eerste Belgische adviesbureau de toen relatief nieuwe en veelbelovende Nederlandse norm NEN 2767. Deze norm maakt het mogelijk om de technische staat van bouwdelen en installaties eenduidig, objectief en reproduceerbaar vast te stellen.

Investeren in comfortabele werkplekken loont. Dat bewijst VDAB met de resultaten van haar meest recente Comfortmeter-survey, uitgevoerd door Factor4. Na een eerste meting in 2017 werd in de winter 2024-2025 opnieuw gepolst naar hoe medewerkers hun werkcomfort ervaren. Het resultaat? Een merkbare vooruitgang in tevredenheid én welzijn op de werkvloer.
