Whitepaper: Insights and experiences in Paris Proof residential renovations

The ASR Dutch Core Residential Fund was the first institutional investor to make rental homes from the 1980s Paris Proof sustainable. We believe that achieving Paris Proof portfolios is not a Tour de France with an individual winner, but that we will achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement faster if we share experiences and lessons. Therefore, in the whitepaper “Insights and experiences in Paris Proof residential renovations”, we share our experiences and insights into achieving a Paris Proof residential portfolio.

The ASR Dutch Core Residential Fund's Paris Proof roadmap, based on CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor), divides the strategy towards net zero into four categories, which should already reduce carbon emissions by 70% by 2030:

  1. Asset-level sustainability plans
  2. Reducing energy consumption
  3. Involving tenants
  4. Purchasing 100% renewable energy
