Environmental certification demonstrates the responsibility of the owner

Environmental certifications increasingly interest many real estate and construction sector parties because in addition to verifying responsibility and operational development, they help to maintain and improve the economic value of the site. With environmental certificates, you can transparently demonstrate to tenants and investors that the maintenance of your property follows the principles of sustainable development.

Applying for environmental certification is a demanding process. By choosing us as as the certification partner, you can ensure a smooth process and benefit from our strong expertise in environmental, energy and MEP design. In-use environmental certificates of properties are intended for monitoring and verifying environmental performance and developing operating models. The certification criteria guide and harmonise the operating models of property management and maintenance.

We have solid expertise in the internationally well-known BREEAM In-Use environmental classification, for example, according to which we have made many certifications, especially for office, commercial and public buildings. In new construction and renovation projects, the responsibility of the property can be guided by environmental certificates for the project phase, such as RTS environmental classification, LEED and BREEAM certifications, all of which we have solid experience and deep expertise in. Also certifications that focus on the well-being of users are gaining popularity. We help our customers in the preparation and implementation of Fitwel certification, for example.

Digital tools for responsibility reporting

Responsibility reporting benefits from using digital tools, and we are pioneers in their development. Granlund Manager is the first digital tool for environmental reporting in Finland. In addition to other property data, also environmental and responsibility data is collected from different sources and properties to Granlund Manager, which makes the reporting processes faster.

The comprehensive up-to-date reporting can also be diversely used in property management and the continuous improvement of operations, with all the required data quickly available to everyone who needs it.

Condition monitoring ensures the well-being of users

With comprehensive condition monitoring of properties, you can ensure the well-being of users and tenants. The importance of these issues is emphasised when considering the provision of healthy and safe premises for staff and customers. We are familiar with properties and their MEP design, and we know that good indoor air, sound conditions, lighting and space layouts have a significant impact on people’s well-being.

We carry out surveys and reviews that help to monitor and develop matters relating to well-being, health and safety. We use digital tools, such as Granlund Manager, for this. Effective reporting tools also help to produce information about the indoor environment that is of interest to users and involve them in the management of their indoor environment.

We also carry out ventilation inspections, which include inspection of ventilation plans and an on-site inspection of the operation of ventilation. The inspections can concern an individual space or an entire office building.
