Construction + Real Estate

The construction sector accounts for 40% of global emissions (embodied carbon that is innate to the materials used and operational carbon generated by construction and maintenance activities). It’s a major challenge that construction stakeholders have the responsibility to address, from energy and materials usage to building and infrastructure design.

Quantis helps our clients focus on net-zero and resilient building and infrastructure strategies that adapt to changing climate conditions and reduce environmental impacts across the entire value chain.

Our solutions focus on human wellness and comfort — air, light, heat, water, nutrition, nature — going beyond regulatory and compliance guidance.

Collaboration for sustainable construction

We prioritize decarbonization efforts by focusing on three pillars — Build, Run, Offset.

  • Build: We concentrate on identifying the best retrofitting or remodeling strategies (using circular economy principles) that focus on using bio-sourced materials and bioclimatic passive designs for all our clients’ assets.
  • Run: We help clients optimize operational and management resources by identifying and assessing smart building technologies that can be implemented across the board.
  • Offset: We support the implementation of renewable energy production both on- and off-site and seek appropriate carbon sequestration solutions.

For each pillar, we address the results of a multi-criteria lifecycle assessment (carbon, water, resources, biodiversity, waste) and explore reduction pathway strategies beyond carbon to promote sustainable buildings. Our solutions focus on the environment while considering human wellness and comfort — air, light, heat, water, nutrition, nature — going beyond regulatory and compliance guidance.

We also help clients select the most relevant certification to align with their corporate commitments, assessing standards such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) and Passivhaus.

Quantis construction and real estate experts can help you:

  • Assess + review data

    We utilize corporate and product footprint data, reviewing the entire value chain, to conduct a maturity assessment identifying a company’s sustainability strengths and weaknesses. The output informs ESG policies and helps us define appropriate KPIs aligned with industry benchmarks for future performance.

  • Planning a path to sustainability

    We help companies define SBTi-aligned targets that promote sustainable growth. We review mitigation opportunities via Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACCs) that balance costs with emissions reduction. This comes together to inform a roadmap to success.

  • Implement transformation

    We help companies engage both internal stakeholders and suppliers to enact sustainable portfolio strategies along the entire value chain.
