[White Paper: Managing Water in a World in Transition] Property: water is becoming a strategic issue 🏢 In the property sector, water has long been a secondary issue compared to energy or carbon. This is no longer the case. “In real estate, water is still an underestimated issue, even though its importance is set to increase significantly.” Frederic Motta, Development Director, SOCOTEC Sustainable Real Estate Shortages, flood risks, regulatory constraints, water quality and stormwater management: water-related challenges now have a direct impact on the value, resilience and operation of property assets. Water is becoming a factor of dual materiality: ➡️ a risk to buildings and their continued use, ➡️ but also an environmental impact that stakeholders must manage. This transformation is profoundly changing approaches to design and operation. Environmental certifications now include water management as a key performance indicator. Investors and insurers are also tightening their requirements. In its white paper, SOCOTEC demonstrates how buildings can play a key role in regional resilience through water efficiency, de-sealing, smart network management and water reuse. 💡 Water is gradually moving beyond its status as a technical issue to become a strategic factor in property assets.
