In this project we lay the foundation for screening tool as a first step towards full implementation of CRC.
The impact of climate change on property values can be extensive, a very large part of the value of properties can be lost. In 2021, the National Board of Housing (Boverket) showed in a literature study that property values can be affected by SEK 96-160 billion from flooding alone. Similar problems are described throughout Europe. At the same time, many of the risks that exist can be prevented or reduced with relatively small efforts if they are identified in time and there are incentives to do the right thing. Property owners, banks, insurance companies and many others need better knowledge of climate-related risks.
Recently entered into force EU regulations such as sustainability accounting rules and classifications of sustainable investments have a strong impact on the industry's need for data at the individual property level. In response to new regulations and to raise awareness of the risks that climate change poses to our building stock, pressure has rapidly built up for the need to act, while the need for synergy is great.
In response to new regulations and to increase awareness of the risks that climate change poses to our building stock, RISE conducted a feasibility study, funded by Vinnova, in 2021-2022 on a standardized assessment of climate risks in real estate called the Climate Resilience Declaration (CRC). The idea of CRC is to eventually develop a model with classification of buildings. For CRC, the feasibility study showed that there was a need for a screening tool as a first step towards full implementation. For this to be possible, currently not yet compiled data on Sweden's buildings is needed.
This project lays the foundation for this screening tool, but regardless of whether a system with CRC is introduced or not, the project also lays the foundation for increased digitalization, new information structures and information flows to find cost-effective measures for the existing and future building stock to be adapted to a future climate.
