Green Building Manual & Audits
Turn sustainability ambitions into tangible results. With Green Building Manuals and Sustainable Building Scans, Encon translates strategy, regulations and certification requirements into clear guidelines and practical actions for more sustainable buildings.
Green Building Manuals
From paper to practice
A Green Building Manual forms the foundation for consistent, future-proof buildings. Many organisations already have a building manual but lack insight into how effectively it is applied in projects. Are sustainability principles truly being followed? And where do challenges arise?
Encon supports you in two ways.
On the one hand, we act as an independent auditor. We assess projects against your existing building manual, guide project teams, and provide targeted feedback. This ensures that agreements regarding energy, materials, comfort, and health are effectively implemented.
On the other hand, we develop tailor-made Green Building Manuals. Not every organisation opts for formal certifications such as BREEAM, LEED, or WELL. In such cases, we work with you to create a practical framework aligned with your strategy, ESG goals, building typologies, and budget.
The result is not a theoretical document, but a practical tool with clear minimum requirements and concrete preferred solutions for each theme.
Our manuals are designed to be scalable and repeatable, ensuring every new project starts from the same sustainable foundation. This accelerates internal decision-making, reduces failure costs, and increases consistency in quality.
In addition, the content aligns with the expectations of banks, investors, and tenants—without the cost and complexity of formal certification.
With Encon, sustainability becomes:
- concrete and measurable
- consistent across projects
- future-proof and adaptable
Sustainable Building Scans & Audits
From complex frameworks to clear decisions
Sustainability frameworks such as the EU Taxonomy and various certification schemes are making the landscape increasingly complex. Many organisations know they need to take action, but lack a clear overview and prioritisation.
Our Sustainable Building Scans and audits bring structure to this complexity.
We analyse your current position and identify the most relevant pathways forward. Which EU Taxonomy approach fits your portfolio? Which investments will have the greatest impact? And how does this align with stakeholder expectations?
Rather than delivering abstract reports, we provide clear, actionable insights. Each scan is translated into a concrete step-by-step plan:
- which measures are required
- how they should be prioritised
- how they align with renovation plans, certification, or compliance
In this way, sustainability becomes not a collection of isolated initiatives, but a coherent strategy.
Our approach is always based on the principle of “profitable sustainability”, meaning:
- compliant where required
- strategic where possible
- financially sound and future-proof
After an audit, you will have a clear understanding of your current position, the actions required, and the impact on your organisation and stakeholders.
