The word sustainability is on everyone's lips. More and more companies are putting on the \u201cgreen\u201d hat – either to be attractive to investors, to score points as an employer with a more environmentally conscious generation, or simply because sooner or later the legal situation makes it necessary. PropTech companies are becoming the means of the hour, because a significant change is needed, especially in the real estate industry. According to a study by PwC (2019), 40% of global energy consumption and 30% of all carbon dioxide emissions are attributable to the real estate industry. PropTechs can offer innovative tech solutions for established companies in the real estate industry in order to minimize their CO2 footprint.<\/p>
Nevertheless, in the future, PropTechs will not only have to provide \u201clasting\u201d proof, but also show that the use of the technology is economically viable. With visualization solutions in particular, companies can get closer to the goal of climate neutrality and at the same time increase efficiency. Understanding projects in the construction and real estate industry and imagining exactly what the end result will look like based on plans is often difficult. This is where the virtual reality solution HEGIAS comes into play: 3D plans and IFC files can be entered and materialized in an internet browser at any time during the planning and construction phase by one or more people regardless of location and be furnished.<\/p>
The pandemic has also shown us that an initial inspection of a property does not have to take place on site so that a buyer or tenant can get a general picture. Well thought-out solutions with a good user interface (UI) and a great user experience (UX), which also offer absolutely "sustainable" added value, score here:
SAM, for example, is a service robot positioned on site and enables interested parties to move freely and live through the property. REMOTELY360 \u00b0 is an online-based tool for first visits, with which a prospective customer is accompanied through the property in real time. And VIEW2GO enables live inspections of properties and their surroundings – documentation included – and thus saves time, money and CO2.<\/p>
