    Three perspectives

    Connecting real estate, energy and capital

    Real estate, energy, and capital are not silo topics. Thinking them apart funds blind spots. AME connects position, levers, and capital commitment into an executable mandate logic.

    These three perspectives explain how a decision connects across topics. They complement our five sectors without replacing that classification.

    Use Case Intersection: Assess real estate, energy and capital together
    01

    Real Estate

    Physical assets as the anchor. Portfolios built for resilience, yield, and bankability under GEG, EPBD, and market pressure.

    Core Question

    "Which assets strand under regulation - and which hold value?"

    • Govern brown discount
    • Translate capex into value
    • Stress-test portfolios
    02

    Energy

    The operational lever. Procurement, decarbonisation, and funding logic turn cost blocks into strategic advantage.

    Core Question

    "Where does energy stop being a cost block and become a lever for yield?"

    • Procurement & PPAs
    • Decarbonization path
    • Secure funding logic
    03

    Capital

    The commitment question. M&A, mandates, and investor DD need evidence before capital binds, not slides after closing.

    Core Question

    "Which decision must be evidence-grade before capital is committed?"

    • M&A and mandate readiness
    • Investor DD surface
    • Exit and hold logic

    Decarbonization Engine

    Illustrative model using fixed assumptions: energy price €0.15/kWh, efficiency gain equal to CAPEX per sqm divided by 800 (capped at 60%), and emissions factor 0.2 kg CO2/kWh. Yield compression equals the efficiency gain times 50 basis points. Grants, financing, taxes and changes in operating costs are excluded. Results compare scenarios; an individual assessment requires property-specific data.

    Lifecycle

    Six phases. Your entire lifecycle.

    From due diligence to exit, we accompany every phase with integrated strategy.

    Real Estate and Energy need coordinated planning.

    We consider real estate and energy together: Which requirements are relevant to the specific project, which investments make sense and how can implementation and operations be coordinated?

    Market Convergence

    Two industries. One intersection.

    Buildings, energy supply and financing are connected. Investment planning needs to consider these perspectives together.

    Investment
    Model tenant electricity with investment, operation, finance and revenues
    Synergies
    Assess technical and economic synergies across district measures

    Strategy frames the goal, technology opens up options and structure connects the next steps. Together, they explain the link between real estate and energy shown in this diagram.

    „Transaction preparation requires traceable building data, energy documentation and investment assumptions. Review open issues early and assign responsibilities."

    Start convergence analysis

    The following 3 perspectives describe the joint assessment of real estate and energy projects. They complement the 5 sectors in AME's sector structure; each perspective addresses a specialist question within a project.

    The requirements applicable to a project depend on the property, the company and the project stage. We identify relevant review areas, responsibilities and interactions and coordinate the assessment needs with the responsible specialist advisers.

    Clarify applicability and review needs case by case

    Tenant electricity, metering concepts and potential funding components are options for a project-specific financial assessment. Investment, operating costs, financing and eligibility conditions are compared using disclosed assumptions. Results depend on the individual project.

    Compare options and assumptions transparently

    We assess how measures at building or district level interact and what effects they may have on operations, financing and a later transaction. Perspectives from M&A, energy, strategy and AI are combined where the specific assessment mandate requires them.

    Assess dependencies, opportunities and risks together

    Building heat

    The Building Modernisation Act has applied since 29 July 2026. The previous blanket 65% requirement for new heating systems no longer applies. Check the requirements and transitional provisions relevant to your project.

    German government
    On-site power

    Project economics

    Tenant electricity consumed directly on site can avoid some grid-supply cost components. Supply, billing and metering must be included in the project model; this does not establish a universal return rate.

    Bundesnetzagentur
    iMSys

    Metering

    Mandatory smart-meter cases include annual consumption above 6,000 kWh, generating installations above 7 kW and controllable devices under section 14a EnWG. Installation depends on the applicable statutory category and timetable.

    Bundesnetzagentur
    EPBD

    Building efficiency

    The EU buildings directive distinguishes residential and non-residential buildings. The 2030 threshold covering the worst-performing 16% concerns non-residential buildings; residential targets address the stock's average primary energy use.

    02/2026
