Summary: When considering energy retrofit investment, a easy and quick method to assess financial feasibility is to consider capital investments (CAPEX) against energy savings. There is little consideration of the increase in value that the upgrades will bring to the building. This added value is difficult to assess, but it is an important effect that needs consideration and has deep financial implications. The EU has already highlighted the importance of a more comprehensive valuation and risk assessment method that reflects this value in order to unlock private investments. Organizations such as RICS and TEGOVA have created guidelines for professional practice of underwriting and finance assessment. We evaluate methods and examples of valuation of the energy retrofits in the building stock using existing reported examples in literature.
