Construction & Real Estate

The construction sector is responsible for 24% of national CO₂ emissions and 50% of material consumption, with concrete and steel among the biggest carbon contributors. Regulatory shifts such as the Energy Efficiency Directive, the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, and carbon pricing schemes are accelerating the transition to sustainable construction practices.

EcoAlpina supports developers, contractors, and architects in adopting low-carbon materials, energy-efficient building designs, and circular construction methods. Our services include whole-life carbon assessments, Building Information Modeling (BIM) integration, and compliance with Swiss Minergie energy standards.

With sustainable building solutions, firms can reduce construction costs, increase asset value, and qualify for green financing and tax incentives. EcoAlpina ensures your projects meet stringent environmental targets while enhancing operational efficiency and long-term profitability.
