Transform logistics properties energetically.
Monetise roof areas.
Energy management for logistics centres, warehouses and distribution centres: unlock PV potential, secure electricity tax relief, meet ESG requirements of institutional tenants.
Problem
Huge roof areas without PV, unused electricity tax relief, ESG pressure from institutional tenants, cold chain unclear.
Outcome
200-500 kWp PV per warehouse, ROI 8-12%, electricity tax relief secured, ESG reporting for tenants automated.
AME Standard = Asset-grade. Measurable. Executable.
For logistics properties, AME Standard means: roof area potential assessed, PV profitability calculated, electricity tax relief checked, ESG data prepared for tenants.
Typically missing: PV potential analysis, electricity tax screening, consolidated energy data, ESG reporting for institutional tenants.
This service is designed for:
Typical situation
„We have 8 warehouses with 10,000 m2 roof area each, but no PV. Our largest tenant is asking for green lease clauses and ESG data we don't have."
Your warehouse roofs could generate 200-500 kWp of electricity.
Most logistics properties waste their largest surface. In 48h we show you the ROI of a PV system on your roof.

5 sectors: your market
- Sector 1Real EstateReal estate decisions combine asset quality, use, capital needs and ongoing income. The sector leads from the portfolio question through investment, development and holding to exit, linking valuation, energy, financing and transactions without mixing these services.Go to hub
- Sector 2EnergyThe Energy sector covers companies, infrastructure and transformation projects of the energy industry: generation, procurement and marketing, grids, metering, storage and flexibility. The focus is on contract models, price and volume risks, economic viability and capital commitment, prepared as a basis for decisions by management, supervisory bodies and capital providers. ESG (environmental, social and governance) and funding are subject areas of this sector, procurement is a service within it.Go to hub
- Sector 3Tech & GrowthTech & Growth brings together growth companies and technology-driven markets. The sector looks at business model, product, recurring revenue, customer retention, sales, unit economics, scaling and financing, as well as building platforms, software, data and automation. The aim is a basis for decisions by founders, management, advisory boards and investors: which growth step is viable, what it costs in capital and time, and which dependencies it creates.Go to hub
- Sector 4HealthcareThe Healthcare sector covers healthcare companies, their structures and their economic development: operators and providers, practices and medical care centres (MVZ), outpatient and residential care, hospitals and the service providers that work for care provision. The focus is on staffing, utilisation, processes, investment, succession and site development. Company, property and care-related questions are presented separately and brought together where the engagement requires it.Go to hub
- Sector 5EducationThe Education sector addresses education companies and institutional education structures: private and non-profit education providers, providers of continuing education and vocational training, independent schools and universities, and companies that develop digital learning products. The focus is on utilisation, participant acquisition, quality, revenue models, digitalisation and succession, the questions that decide whether an educational mandate is economically viable. The sector is clearly separate from the AME Academy's own learning formats and from career offers.Go to hub
5 services: your task
- Service 1Strategy & TransformationStrategy & Transformation combines choosing a viable target picture with corporate development, implementation planning and verifiable decisions. The service ranges from reviewing the business model and assessing strategic options, through the operating model and governance, to the transformation programme with a value creation plan and implementation steering that makes responsibilities and effects visible.Go to hub
- Service 2M&A & SuccessionM&A & Succession brings together company acquisitions and sales, succession solutions, due diligence and transaction support. The service combines the buyer's and the seller's perspective: from checking whether a company or an acquirer is ready for a transaction, through valuation assumptions and purchase price mechanics, to managing due diligence, negotiation preparation, closing and integration. Roles, process boundaries and the specialists needed from legal and tax advice are disclosed from the outset. Market-related risks are added case by case.Go to hub
- Service 3Asset ManagementAsset Management combines portfolio optimisation, asset steering and risk analysis. Real estate and other real assets are considered according to the specific mandate. The service translates the owners' objectives into a business plan per property or plant, prioritises investment, steers property managers and operators, and keeps income, costs, risk and value development continuously traceable, differentiated by asset class rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.Go to hub
- Service 4Wealth & RiskWealth & Risk is aimed at families, family offices and investors. The service makes wealth structure, concentrations and dependencies visible and frames the options for action. It looks at wealth as a whole, from operating holdings and real estate to liquidity, tests its resilience in agreed scenarios and prepares decisions on structure and governance that remain with the owners. From the outset it names the questions that legal, tax, insurance or investment specialists holding the required licence need to answer. Individual investment advice and the brokerage of financial or insurance products are not part of this service.Go to hub
- Service 5AI & DigitalizationAI & Digitalization combines digital transformation, AI solutions, process automation and data-driven workflows. The starting point is a specific task, not introducing as many tools as possible. We clarify which process should measurably improve, whether the data is fit for it and may be used, what the project returns once all costs are counted, where human oversight remains and when a solution without AI is the better choice.Go to hub

Informed Decisions for
Complex Projects
These six review areas describe possible work tasks, not published engagement results. Scope, feasibility and success criteria are established for each project.
Compare the costs, benefits and assumptions of the specific project transparently. This does not establish a promised return.
Review manual verification and classification steps to identify suitable automation opportunities. Actual benefits depend on the data and processes.
Structure responsibilities, decisions and required evidence for traceability. This does not assert certification or complete legal compliance.
Bring together available data, open questions and necessary approvals. Timelines remain specific to each project.
Organise valuation assumptions, options and transaction steps for the specific engagement. No cumulative advisory volume is presented here as a reference without published evidence.
Make validation rules, sources and exceptions visible, with specialist review where needed. Automation does not remove the need for checks or establish a zero-error promise.
What does unused potential cost for logistics properties?
Wasted PV potential: Every unused warehouse roof costs EUR 50,000-150,000 annual revenue - with rising electricity prices, the loss increases.
Electricity tax gap: Many logistics operators miss relief under electricity tax law - the peak equalisation screening alone can secure five-figure amounts.
ESG tenant risk: Institutional tenants (Amazon, DHL, Kuehne+Nagel) increasingly demand green lease clauses - without ESG data, owners lose negotiating position.
Cold chain regulation: The F-Gas regulation is tightening - cold chain logistics without a decarbonisation plan becomes more expensive and uncertain.
Why AME for logistics properties?
PV expertise: From roof area analysis through profitability calculation to implementation support.
Tax expertise: Systematic electricity tax screening with application support.
Green-lease-ready: ESG reporting and consumption data prepared for institutional tenants.
Cold chain experience: Decarbonisation concepts for temperature-controlled logistics (fresh, frozen, pharma).
Logistics properties benefit from optimised operations and energy renovation - large roof areas offer enormous PV potential.
