What is the Sustainability CapEx Index?
Deepki uses AI-powered modeling to quantify the cost of the environmental transition for European real estate. This annual benchmark provides the financial transparency needed to integrate climate risk into investment strategies and protect against brown discounting. Insights include:
- Financial ROI: Annualized discounted costs as a percentage of asset value for key markets like Paris and London.
- Decarbonization Benchmarks: Average renovation costs per square meter for Office, Retail, and Logistics sectors across Europe.
- Investment Scenarios: Data-driven modeling for light, medium, and heavy renovations aligned with CRREM 1.5C° pathways.
Rely on a proven methodology
Audit-ready data from 3,000+ assets
Drawn from our database of over 550,000 buildings, this sample leverages verified, anonymized consumption data from the Deepki Index—cross-referenced with Cushman & Wakefield market valuations—to provide a statistically robust foundation for absolute financial transparency.
Standardized alignment to mitigate transition risk
Anchored in CRREM’s 1.5°C Carbon Pathway, our methodology utilizes median European grid decarbonization rates to ensure high comparability and rigorous long-term performance forecasting across all asset clusters.
Audited AI simulations for high-precision investment planning
Validated by engineering consultants and compliant with ASHRAE, our retrofit engine leverages digital twins and thermal simulations to model complex retrofit interactions to generate optimized, CRREM-aligned investment plans at scale.
Investment scenarios based on building performance
To provide actionable benchmarks, we analyzed costs across light, medium, and heavy renovation scenarios based on an asset’s starting energy performance. By modeling 70+ retrofit actions, our index illustrates how assets with better initial performance significantly reduce the total capital required for 1.5°C alignment.
The Sustainability CapEx Index provides valuable insights within our global decision-making process, helping us direct capital allocation where it will have the most significant impact on asset value.
