Metec Consulting Engineers

Is your building on the right side of the EU Taxonomy? The BER Pathway is Metec’s practical response to a shifting regulatory and investment landscape. It’s not a report. It’s a roadmap. ✅ One that begins with a deep-dive audit of your building’s M&E systems. ✅ Includes a 3D model that simulates energy performance. ✅ Ends with a clear, actionable retrofit plan that aligns your asset with the EU Taxonomy - and improves your BER. Because in 2025, compliance isn’t optional - and low-performing buildings are a financial liability. From higher rental yields to green financing access, this pathway is about unlocking long-term value while reducing risk. 🔗 Visit the full BER Pathway page here to see how it works: https://lnkd.in/eGgr7tgx 🎥 Plus: Watch the short explainer video below where we break down why tenants are demanding more from buildings - and how landlords can stay competitive. #BER #CommercialRealEstate #Engineering #Sustainability #EUtaxonomy #GreenRetrofit #Metec #MandeEngineering #BuildingPerformance #ESG #Futureproof

The Future of Data Centre Construction – Is Your Approach Outdated? Data centres are evolving faster than ever. Energy prices are surging, environmental regulations are tightening, and project timelines are shrinking. Yet, many contractors are still wrestling with the same old design bottlenecks. A fragmented approach to M&E design no longer works. It slows down projects, inflates costs, and puts energy efficiency targets at risk. That’s where Metec’s M+E+S Approach comes in. By integrating Mechanical, Electrical, and Sustainability engineering from the outset, we help data centre contractors: ✅ Accelerate project timelines ✅ Reduce operational costs ✅ Minimise carbon footprint Case Study: Temporary Cooling Plant – Confidential Data Centre, Frankfurt A 1.7MW cooling plant delivered in four weeks, with seamless BMS integration and on-budget execution. It’s time to future-proof data centre construction.

🏢 The New Reality of Commercial Real Estate: Why BER Ratings & ESG Matter More Than Ever The rules of commercial real estate have changed. Tenants are no longer just looking for space—they’re looking for buildings that align with their ESG goals. 🏗️ LEED. WELL. Net Zero. EU Taxonomy. From Dublin to Frankfurt, occupiers are demanding high-performance, energy-efficient buildings that meet international sustainability standards. And here’s the challenge for landlords: ❌ A low Building Energy Rating (BER) can make properties unmarketable ❌ Stranded assets are becoming more common under EU regulations ❌ Tenants expect certifications that future proof their businesses The question isn’t whether sustainability matters - it’s whether your building is ready for what’s next. 🔎 Where does your building stand? With Metec’s BER Pathway, landlords get a clear roadmap to upgrade low-performing buildings and stay ahead of regulations. 📹 Watch the video to understand what’s driving demand for LEED & WELL buildings - and why ESG compliance is no longer optional. 💡 Ready to futureproof your asset? 👉 Explore the BER Pathway here: https://lnkd.in/eGgr7tgx #SustainableBuildings #BER #RealEstate #LEED #WELL #ESG #GreenBuilding

🏢 The Future of Commercial Real Estate: Adapt or Be Left Behind 🚨 A quiet revolution is unfolding in Ireland’s property sector. The European Green Deal and EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities are no longer distant policies—they are shaping who can lease, sell, or invest in commercial buildings. The reality? If your building carries a low BER, it risks becoming a stranded asset - unsellable, unmarketable, and unfit for the future. But for those who act now, the opportunity is immense. 🔹 Buildings with high BER ratings attract blue-chip tenants and command higher rental yields 🔹 Stronger regulatory compliance protects your asset from obsolescence 🔹 Green financing & lower borrowing costs reward those who prioritise sustainability The challenge? Where to start. Decarbonising a building isn’t about quick fixes - it requires a strategic, data-driven roadmap. 💡 That’s where Metec’s BER Pathway comes in. A comprehensive plan that aligns your building’s energy performance with EU Taxonomy, maximising both sustainability and commercial value. 📍 Where does your building stand? Start by answering five key questions and get a personalised roadmap to compliance, efficiency, and long-term resilience. 📖 Read the full newsletter below & discover how to stay ahead: #CommercialRealEstate #BERPathway #Decarbonisation #SustainableBuildings #GreenFinance #EURegulations #ESG
