Sustainability Certification

In order to assess the environmental and quality performance of a building, various possible international certification schemes exist, but not all unlock the same value under the different circumstances.

The selection of the appropriate certification scheme is the first step towards maximization of the certification outcomes and overal building performance.

By performing certification strategies, our sustainability consultants, advise clients on the most suitable certification to meet strategic project-needs and avoid any value-lock in.

When embarking on a new project, we understand that your priorities include managing costs and protecting the environment. To support you in achieving sustainable and cost-effective development, we recommend leveraging the insights gained from a BREEAM New Construction or BREEAM Refurbishment & Fit-Out assessment.

We work closely with you to make informed decisions at the right time. Our experts will help you achieve your sustainability goals, reduce carbon emissions, and minimize future costs.

At Bopro, we act not only as assessors but also as accredited professional (advisors), ensuring your sustainability ambitions are fully realized.

The DGNB Certification System goes beyond sustainability - it’s about understanding the full life cycle of your building or urban district and unlocking its true potential.

By focusing on sustainable design, your building holds its value longer, operates more efficiently, and costs less to maintain. Studies show that sustainable properties are more attractive to tenants, experience fewer vacancies, and generate higher rental income. When it’s time to sell, they often command better market prices and higher resale values.

For you, this means sustainable building isn’t just a smart choice—it’s a powerful way to create lasting value.

This standard is revolutionising the way people think about buildings. It explores how design, operations and behaviours within the places where we live, work, learn and play, can be optimised to advance human health and well-being.

As a certified WELL AP, we assist the developer to integrate the WELL principles into the program of requirements.

Throughout the process, we help project teams in making informed decisions. The challenge is to incorporate the WELL requirements, in balance with aspects like energy performance and without exceeding the project budget. Through the different project stages, we inform the project team on the necessary steps and on the required documentary evidence. We insist on the integration of smart building technologies in order to maximalise the user’s wellbeing.

The EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification is an environmental performance scheme for real estate, developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.

It aims to promote sustainable building practices by providing a measurable way to reduce energy, water, and material consumption in buildings. EDGE offers three levels of certification—EDGE Certified, EDGE Advanced, and EDGE Zero Carbon—based on the extent of resource efficiency achieved. Buildings are assessed on their energy, water, and embodied energy in materials.

The goal is to achieve at least 20% savings in each category compared to conventional buildings.

Bopro translates the technical criteria of the sustainability schemes such as BREEAM or DGNB into user-friendly texts that can be used by designers and contractors.

In this way, sustainability can be integrated into your designs in a standardized way and the contractor can take into account your sustainability objectives when choosing materials and installations or when developing the implementation plans.

In this way, your projects are made more sustainable in a cost-efficient way, maximizing the long-term value.
