Strategic climate advisory for real estate
I help commercial real estate organizations turn climate regulation into competitive advantage.
No generic templates. No consultant overreach.
Just practical strategies that protect value and ensure compliance.
" Together, we delivered several outstanding projects, including highly complex conversion works in live environments as well as unique, first-of-their-kind initiatives. Beyond technical expertise, his gift for design storytelling brought projects to life, inspiring both stakeholders and colleagues with a clear and compelling vision."

How I work
I don't sell retainers or ongoing relationships you don't need. Projects range from focused compliance support (4-6 weeks) to comprehensive portfolio strategies (3-6 months).
I deliver clarity, not complexity. Actionable recommendations, not theoretical frameworks. Analysis investment committees can act on, not academic exercises.

Net zero strategy and climate risk assessment
Your board committed to net zero. Your investors want climate risk disclosure. You're uncertain which buildings are at risk or what systematic decarbonization looks like for your portfolio.
- I assess your portfolio's climate exposure, physical risk and transition risk.
- We build decarbonization roadmaps that protect asset value while meeting Science-Based Targets.
- We identify where investment makes commercial sense vs. spending money to feel better.
You get analysis you can defend to investors and roadmaps your teams can implement
Case Studies
Regulatory compliance and disclosure
CSRD, MEES, ESOS, SECR: each has different deadlines, requirements, and penalties. You're uncertain what applies to you or how to comply efficiently.
- I map your compliance obligations across regulations and jurisdictions.
- We build compliance strategies that minimize cost and maximize strategic value.
- I prepare your CSRD disclosures, GRI reports, and MEES improvement plans, the actual documents, not just recommendations.
You get compliance sorted without spiralling consultancy fees.
Building performance and certification
You need LEED, BREEAM, or WELL certifications because investors expect it, tenants demand it, or competitors have it. You're uncertain which certification makes sense or what's involved in achieving it.
- I lead your certification projects from registration through final submission.
- I've achieved 15 certifications across different building types and geographies.
- I know what documentation assessors want, how to avoid delays, and which credits are worth pursuing.
You get certifications achieved, not just pursued.
Case Studies
Programme and project advisory
You're running complex projects with sustainability requirements you didn't write and timelines you didn't set. Your architects, engineers, and contractors each have different ideas about requirements.
- I embed with your project team from concept through completion.
- I translate between disciplines, align stakeholders, and ensure sustainability gets integrated without chaos.
- I attend design meetings, review submissions, and verify construction delivery.
You get projects that deliver on sustainability commitments without drama.
Case Studies
Asset and portfolio delivery
Your portfolio includes buildings built decades ago. Some underperform. Some could be repositioned but you're uncertain where to invest. Your investors want ESG data you're struggling to compile.
- I assess your portfolio asset by asset
- Which buildings face genuine risk, which can be improved cost-effectively, which should be divested.
- We build asset repositioning strategies and lifecycle sustainability plans that protect and enhance value.
You get clear investment priorities backed by commercial analysis.
Case Studies
Training and capacity building
Your team needs to understand climate risk, decarbonization pathways, and regulatory requirements, applied to your business. Your people are smart but lack that expertise.
- I design and deliver training tailored to your organization's specific challenges
- Executive briefings on climate risk, project team workshops on embodied carbon, facilities team training on building certification.
You get internal capability that reduces dependency on external consultants.
Case Studies
Climate communications and reporting
You have sustainability commitments. Now you report progress to investors, regulators, and clients. You're worried about greenwashing accusations but also about looking inactive.
- I develop your climate communications strategy and write your sustainability reports, GRI, CSRD, investor disclosures.
- I help you communicate what you've achieved honestly without creating liability.
- I secure third-party validations (CDP, GRESB) that build credibility.
You get communications that withstand scrutiny and build stakeholder confidence.
Bespoke consulting and special projects
Not every challenge fits standard categories. You might need climate due diligence on an acquisition, strategic advice for a board presentation, or expert input on a planning dispute.
- I bring 25 years of experience to problems without established playbooks.
- Custom climate risk assessment.
- Expert witness services.
- Research on emerging topics.
You get senior expertise adapted to your specific circumstances.
