How green is this building, and what would fix it?

RetroEstate gives any building a score from 0 to 100 and shows which retrofits raise it, what they cost and when they pay back. Built for property owners across the GCC.

Try it: pick a building, then tick retrofits to see the score move.

    Retrofits that raise this score

    From an address to a retrofit plan

    1. Add the building

      Enter the address and a few basics, or upload utility bills and the existing certificate. For a portfolio, import a spreadsheet.

    2. Get the score

      Five categories, one number. You see exactly where the building loses points and how it compares with similar buildings nearby.

    3. Plan the retrofits

      Each measure comes with a cost range, the carbon it saves and its payback. Combine them and watch the score and the budget change together.

    What goes into the score

    The weights follow what regulators and lenders look at first. Energy and carbon carry most of the score, because that is where the cost and the regulation are.

    • Energy use30%Cooling, heating, lighting and plant, per square metre.
    • Carbon emissions30%Operational emissions against a decarbonisation pathway.
    • Water15%Consumption, reuse and leak control.
    • Indoor air and comfort15%Ventilation, air quality and daylight.
    • Materials10%Envelope, insulation and refrigerants.

    One score that speaks the local standard

    A tower in Dubai and a hotel in Doha answer to different rules. The score is designed to map to the framework each GCC market already uses, so the result means something to your regulator, your bank and your tenants.

    Who uses it

    Owners and asset managers

    Rank a whole portfolio, find the buildings at risk of losing value, and put the retrofit budget where it raises the score most.

    Developers

    Test a design before it is built. See which choices move the score and the rating level, while changes are still cheap.

    Brokers and listing portals

    Show a green badge next to each listing. Buyers and tenants compare running costs, not only price per square metre.
