Energy performance of
healthcare real estate
Cofinimmo mainly plays an advisory role for operators in terms of
sustainability, due to the triple net nature of its investments.
Opportunities for improving the construction and sustainability
qualities of the buildings are discussed together with the operator
during construction or extension projects. The aim is to opt for
rationalisation of energy use when operating the building. This
approach is part of Cofinimmo’s ISO 14001:2004 environmental
certification for the Project Management of major works and reno-
vations. The result, for example, is a better insulation level (K-level),
that exceeds the minimum legal requirements, and more efficient
heating and ventilation systems (see section “Construction and
renovation projects” of this chapter).
Moreover, national energy performance legislation varies between
Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany.
In Belgium, only service flats have to comply with E-level require-
ments, namely those applicable to residential properties.
In France, the legislation also applies to care homes but with a
different value scale (A to I) than in Belgium.
The energy performance of 32 care homes in France, i.e. 19.4% of
the portfolio, can be broken down as follows:
The healthcare portfolio’s geographical diversification
is designed to balance risks linked to possible changes
in legislation regarding reimbursement of healthcare or
accommodation costs for elderly people.
