The Future in Existing Buildings
Consistent investment for sustainable urban living environments.
29. April 2026Existing properties offer enormous potential – for owners as well as for tenants. Through targeted investment, buildings can be made more sustainable, efficient and cost-effective.
A key lever is the use of renewable energy: photovoltaics, heat pumps or modern heating systems reduce CO₂ emissions and lower energy costs in the long term.
The modernisation of building services also plays a central role. Efficient heating, ventilation and cooling systems, as well as smart lighting solutions, improve the energy balance and enhance user comfort. Equally important is the optimisation of the building envelope. New windows, better insulation or refurbished façades minimise heat loss and reduce operating costs in the long term. In addition, digital control systems enable more efficient use of energy by making consumption transparent and optimising it.
The result: lower service charges for tenants, greater appeal and long-term value appreciation for owners. At GENERALI REAL ESTATE, we continuously invest in our extensive portfolio to secure the future of our properties.
