Real Estate: How to prepare your assets for a +4°C world?

Summary

Faced with projections of +4°C global warming by 2100, the real estate sector urgently needs to rethink its strategies. This blog analyzes climate issues, presents concrete examples, and demonstrates how Tardigrade AI's predictive analytics tools can secure and enhance your assets.

Introduction

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it's a reality that's already impacting the real estate sector. Preparing assets for a 4°C warming scenario by 2100 has become an economic and strategic imperative for owners and investors.

Climate adaptation: an economic imperative

The recent case of Porsche perfectly illustrates the domino effect of climate risks: the flooding of a single component factory in Switzerland led to the shutdown of their production, generating losses estimated at between 1 and 2 billion euros. This alarm bell underscores the urgent need to adapt our real estate assets to climate change.

The worrying situation for French real estate

Tardigrade AI's analyses paint a worrying picture:
• Climate anomalies already exceed normals by 20 to 50% in France, with a projection of doubling or even tripling by 2050
• Thermal regulation of buildings requires 50% more energy than ten years ago, a consumption that could increase fivefold in certain urban areas by 2050
• Two major threats are looming: runoff flooding and the intensification of heat waves

These projections are corroborated by recent studies. A report from Ademe and the Climate Action network reveals that climate change is already affecting all French regions, with direct consequences for real estate.

Act now to secure your assets

Adapting real estate assets represents a major challenge in the face of the probable scenario of +4°C in 2100. The 7th OID barometer confirms the need for an integrated approach combining:
• Energy performance
• The carbon footprint
• Climate resilience

Real estate decision-makers must now integrate these parameters into their long-term strategy, relying on predictive analysis tools such as those developed by Tardigrade AI.

An innovative anticipation methodology

Tardigrade AI revolutionizes climate risk assessment through:
• An approach based on the IPCC worst-case scenario (SSP 5-8.5)
• Precise geolocalized analysis, year by year
• A digital field twin allowing:
- Simulate the evolution of precipitation
- Anticipate potential flood levels
- Design personalized adaptation strategies

Conclusion: an investment for the future

Preparing your real estate assets for a +4°C world is not just a precautionary measure, it's a strategic investment for the future. By taking a proactive approach and using advanced analytics tools like those offered by Tardigrade AI, owners and investors can not only protect the value of their properties but also contribute to creating a more resilient and sustainable real estate portfolio.
Adapting to climate change in the real estate sector also offers opportunities for innovation and value creation. Eco-responsible and resilient buildings are increasingly sought after, which can result in increased property values ​​and greater attractiveness on the rental market.
Ultimately, adapting our real estate assets to climate change is not only an economic necessity, it is also a collective responsibility to ensure a sustainable and resilient future for future generations.
