Their work reframes green value not as a sustainability premium, but as a reduction in future financial risk &#8211; by integrating tomorrow&#8217;s regulatory constraints and costs into today\u2019s valuation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their findings show that buildings exposed to higher future regulatory costs and uncertainty already carry a measurable discount today, highlighting how climate policy is progressively reshaping real estate valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This research is available <a href=\"https:\/\/e4s.center\/resources\/reports\/anticipating-the-energy-discount-a-valuation-framework-for\/\">on E4S platform<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/e4s.center\/news\/interview-on-the-green-value-of-real-estate\/\">An interview<\/a> with the researchers also provides more detail on the methodology and its practical implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As climate and energy regulations become stricter in Switzerland, one question arises: what is the real value of a building today if costly renovations will be legally required&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001243,"featured_media":9053,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[936,934,929],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-9037","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-esg","8":"category-finance-and-insurance","9":"category-research"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1001243"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9037"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9049,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9037\/revisions\/9049"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/hecoutreach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
