As the world faces not only a climate crisis but also a biodiversity crisis, outdoor areas of properties become an invaluable resource to support a rich and diverse fauna.
DEAS has proactively addressed this critical issue by developing a tailored biodiversity index. This index, which quantifies biodiversity based on various indicators, provides a percentage score ranging from 0 to 100% and indicates how biodiverse a specific outdoor area is. Therefore, property owners can strategically prioritize their efforts across their property portfolio, ensuring that investments maximize biodiversity at the company level.
DEAS goes a step further by not only screening individual properties and portfolios but also by developing and implementing biodiversity projects, all in close consultation with tenants. DEAS believes in the power of community and co-ownership, and therefore, we engage tenants in these projects so they feel a genuine connection and pride in biodiversity-promoting initiatives.
Involving tenants can ultimately lead to co-investments in the most sustainable solutions, based on a carefully agreed-upon investment framework where both aesthetics and biodiversity are highly valued. Imagine areas that are not only green and lush but also provide a respite from daily life with a sensory garden, or areas that are intentionally left wild, allowing nature to flourish and support local wildlife.
By combining aesthetic green solutions with strategic biodiversity improvement, DEAS creates value not only for property owners and tenants but also actively contributes to addressing and mitigating the global biodiversity crisis.

In a time when decentralized energy production is rapidly evolving, the implementation of solar panels on properties has become a hot topic and an attractive opportunity for many property owners. Not only as a green solution but also as a means of self-sustaining energy production.
However, navigating the complexity of electricity supply regulations, electricity tariffs, and lease laws while ensuring a profitable investment can be a challenging task.
Therefore, DEAS offers a comprehensive approach. We conduct a careful screening of the property portfolio’s rooftops, always with respect for the property’s aesthetics and architecture, to evaluate the technical potential for the installation of solar panels. DEAS goes even further: We assess the tenants’ willingness to pay to ensure that property owners can sell their electricity production, especially within commercial leases, all framed by the complex legislation in the field.
DEAS further ensures that the investment in solar panels not only pays off financially but also environmentally and in terms of image. DEAS guarantees that the expansion of solar panels positively reflects in the property’s energy rating and complies with environmental goal 1 according to the EU taxonomy.
In the end, DEAS’ approach serves not only to promote green energy production but also to create value for property owners by optimizing energy use, reducing costs, and improving the property’s environmental profile in a way that is both sustainable and economically sound.

In light of the already observable climate changes, which have brought dramatic changes in weather patterns, also in the Nordics, responsible management and proactive risk handling in relation to property ownership become crucial. Legal requirements now obligate property owners to carefully evaluate how their outdoor areas may potentially pose a flood risk, not just for their property, but also for the surrounding neighbours.
DEAS offers to take responsibility for conducting these vital risk assessments with a depth and precision that not only meets but strives to exceed both Danish and European standards. Our assessments consider a wide range of parameters, including time horizon, weather forecasts, and an extensive screening of relevant risk factors.
Should a property be within the identified risk zones, DEAS steps up by developing well-thought-out plans. We analyse how the property’s installations, construction and operation of outdoor areas can be optimised and restructured, not only for the benefit of the specific property but also for the surrounding neighbourhood.
But our commitment does not stop at the planning phase. DEAS stands side by side with our clients through the realisation of these landscape optimisation projects, ensuring a smooth implementation and providing solutions that are created with a focus on long-term sustainability and resilience against future climate changes.

Waste sorting is high on the agenda both environmentally and politically. With a commitment to sorting into 10 categories, as has now been politically decided, the property’s waste systems and installations must be adapted and prepared for effective source separation.
The introduction of detailed waste sorting also opens up another golden opportunity: to collect and analyse data, making waste management skills an integrated part of a property or property portfolio’s ESG data. This becomes an invaluable resource in reporting, goal-setting strategies, and improving the property’s waste management.
At DEAS, we offer multidimensional advice – strategic advice at the portfolio level and tactical advice at the property level, supplemented with connections to a range of suppliers who can assist with digital data collection.
By choosing DEAS as a partner, the property is not only ensured immediate compliance with regulatory requirements through our initiated renovations but also continued compliance with the law. We offer active assistance and continuously monitor current legislation, so property owners are always ensured to meet all legal requirements, now and in the future.

Make your building stand out with certifications that matter.
For building owners, certified buildings are not just a marker of sustainability – they are a promise of a lease that goes beyond the standard.
While the EU’s taxonomy emphasizes 6 overarching environmental goals, certification schemes delve deeper and evaluate buildings based on over 50 technical criteria.
These schemes are designed with a hands-on approach, making them ideal for matching tenants’ daily needs and thereby defining clear commercial lease terms.
At DEAS, we currently place special emphasis on DGNB certifications. We particularly focus on BIU (Building in Use) and the emerging DGNB space/lease level.
We understand that these certifications are of great significance to building owners, and that’s why we have tailored an advanced service program to meet these specific needs.
With DEAS as your partner, you ensure that your property is not only in line with sustainability but also tailored to the future tenants.

In recent years, the EU has set a distinct direction for sustainability reporting, particularly for larger enterprises and those offering financial products. This shift is not merely symbolic; it underpins the EU’s ambitious plan to eradicate greenwashing and ensure genuine sustainable growth.
Central to this initiative is the EU Taxonomy.
The premise is not just a guideline, but a meticulously crafted manual that precisely defines what sustainability means in today’s business landscape. With six environmental objectives and detailed technical screening criteria, tailored specifically for each sector based on the EU’s NACE codes, this taxonomy ensures that businesses are not just talking about sustainability – they’re living it.
But how does one navigate this intricate landscape? This is where DEAS steps in.
DEAS are not only experts in understanding and implementing the EU Taxonomy but also specialists in the crucial sector of “Acquisition and ownership of buildings”.
Whether it’s new constructions or renovation projects, DEAS ensures every step is taken with sustainability at the forefront. This commitment extends to crucial documentation, with DEAS advising throughout the process – from data collection to auditor approval.
With DEAS by your side, compliance with the EU’s stringent sustainability requirements becomes not only feasible but straightforward.

Building and maintaining environments with top-notch indoor climate in collaboration with property owners is a central goal for DEAS.
The essence of a building’s purpose goes beyond mere bricks and mortar; it is a place that actively supports an ideal indoor climate where temperature, airflow, lighting, and noise are all carefully managed and balanced. DEAS’ approach includes in-depth planning and improvement of indoor climate solutions that coordinate the building envelope, layout, and strategic placement of installations, whether DEAS is designing new leases or optimizing existing spaces to meet modern indoor climate standards.
The evidence of the connection between human productivity and an optimal indoor climate in commercial properties is undeniable. An investment in indoor climate is, therefore, not only an investment in the space but also in the people who work there, ensuring that every workday is as productive as possible. It is clear that tenants not only desire but also demand that office spaces meet and exceed prevailing indoor climate standards.
In residential properties, especially those constructed in accordance with the latest building regulations, the creation and maintenance of indoor climate, including essential ventilation in each apartment, also become a priority, directly affecting residents’ comfort and well-being.
At DEAS, we utilize a range of simulation tools to calculate and predict indoor climate scenarios. Our advisory services, based on data from these simulations, are used not only for the planning of new leases but also as a stable foundation in managing any conflicts between owner and tenant.
DEAS is committed to not only following best practices in indoor climate management but also defining them, ensuring that all investors’ properties are inviting, productive, and comfortable places to live and work.

Investing in quality control and careful monitoring can make the difference between a successful construction project and one plagued by subsequent corrections and adjustments.
When it comes to both new construction and extensive office fit-outs, DEAS advises on the importance of a meticulous approach to the construction process – from the beginning all the way through to the finished result.
Visual inspection of installations is not always sufficient to assess their performance and integrity. Instead, DEAS takes it a step further with an in-depth evaluation based on carefully selected measurement points, where we conduct comprehensive measurements. This is done in close collaboration with contractors from the early stages of the project to ensure that all installations meet the specified requirements and standards.
Why is commissioning so crucial? Our experience at DEAS shows that a careful and expert-led commissioning process not only leads to more accurate and reliable measurements but also often initiates corrective actions based on tangible data. This ensures that any deficiencies or deviations are identified and addressed immediately, not after the construction project is completed.
But there’s more to it. The inclusion of commissioning specialists not only serves to identify and rectify any errors or deficiencies but also motivates contractors to deliver their best, as they are aware that their work will be closely inspected and evaluated.
The optimal outcome? By involving a commissioning specialist early in the process, we ensure a proactive and corrective influence on the construction process, minimizing errors and promoting a smoother, more efficient workflow from start to finish.

More and more people are driving electric vehicles, but accessing charging stations can be a challenge for those living in multi-storey buildings or housing associations without their own driveway.
The figures speak for themselves: One in every three new cars rolling out from the dealerships is 100% electric, and almost half of all Danes say they will choose an electric car next time they buy a new vehicle (Source: Electric Car Index 2023). Meanwhile, politicians are pushing for the green transition with a clear goal of having 1 million electric cars on the roads by 2030.
At DEAS, we want to help make the green transition possible and believe we have a significant role to play in making it easier for everyone to charge their electric vehicles on the properties we manage.
Therefore, we have researched the market and entered into a partnership with Clever. This means you can get help to tailor a solution that takes into account the needs of your particular property and makes sense for everyone – including those who don’t already own an electric car.
