Who we work with
Liminal Climate partners with organizations navigating the commercial real estate industry's sustainability transformation.
Portfolio owners and developers
MEES tightens to minimum EPC C by 2027-2030. Underperforming buildings can't be leased. Valuations are dropping. Investors want ESG data you're struggling to compile. Meanwhile, certified buildings can achieve 5-15% rent premiums
You need to know:
- Which assets are at risk and which can be repositioned.
- What compliance actually requires vs. consultant overreach.
- Where sustainability investment protects value vs. window dressing.
- How to discuss climate risk with investors without triggering alarm
I've guided portfolio owners through MEES compliance, building repositioning, and investor ESG reporting.
I understand both technical requirements and commercial implications.
Corporate occupiers
Your Challenge:
Your CEO committed to net zero. Your board wants ESG progress reports. Your facilities team needs actionable plans. Deliverables have changed, your budget hasn't.
You need to know:
- How to meet corporate commitments without derailing projects or budgets.
- Which certifications actually matter vs. expensive wall plaques.
- How to align design teams and contractors on sustainability.
- What to report to your board that's both honest and reassuring.
I've worked with corporate real estate teams at global technology and financial services firms navigating exactly this tension.
Construction and
project delivery teams
Your clients want net zero—but still want it on time and on budget. Embodied carbon targets. Circular economy requirements. Material transparency. Your margins can't absorb the learning curve.
You need to know:
- How to price sustainability accurately and win work profitably.
- Which carbon reduction strategies work within existing workflows.
- How to discuss trade-offs without looking incompetent.
- What certifications require from main contractors vs. specialists.
I've embedded with construction teams on major projects.
I understand site realities, not just design ideals.
Marketing and communications teams
Your organization made net zero pledges. Now you report progress to investors, clients, and regulators. The gap between achievement and promise is uncomfortable. Bold claims invite scrutiny. Weak communications disappoint stakeholders.
You need to know:
- How to communicate progress honestly without exposing your organization.
- What counts as credible reporting vs. greenwashing triggers.
- Which third-party validations matter to investors.
- How to translate technical performance into compelling narrative.
I've developed climate communications strategies for organizations navigating this exact tension.
Hospitality and
mixed-use developers
Premium positioning requires credible environmental performance. Your brand promises sustainability. Your operations need to deliver it without compromising guest experience or margin. Mixed-use adds complexity: residential, office, retail, hospitality, each with different requirements.
You need to know:
- How to integrate sustainability without sacrificing design vision.
- Which certifications support brand positioning vs. waste money.
- How to balance guest wellness with operational efficiency.
- What sustainability means for climate-vulnerable locations.
I've worked on hotel developments, mixed-use regeneration, and premium office-led projects.
Infrastructure and Government
Public scrutiny demands demonstrable progress. Budgets remain constrained. Procurement processes are complex. Projects must deliver social value alongside performance.
You need to know:
- How to meet Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme requirements
- Which sustainability standards satisfy planning and procurement
- How to balance community expectations with project viability
- What climate resilience means for long-term infrastructure performance
I've worked on government-funded projects and understand public sector delivery requirements, stakeholder management, and value-for-money frameworks.
