During this session, Declan (a subsidiary of Kuijpers) shows how to make sustainability tangible in figures. Using this insight, you strengthen investment decisions and financing, while reducing the risk of brown discount. Hear from Declan as a building manager how you gain more control over performance and prevent real estate from quietly losing value. Many buildings underperform without this being immediately visible. With smart software and AI, Declan makes performance transparent and turns data into concrete steering actions, so that energy, comfort and CO₂ are not only monitored but actively optimised.
Speaker: Sander van Gaal, Declan
