BAT-ADAPT, A TOOL TO ENABLE BUILDINGS TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE ZOOMON. . . To conduct our climate resilience analysis, • R4RE was developed specifically to address the In Valencia, resilience to extreme weather events we use the Bat-Adapt tool, which is integrated challenges of the European taxonomy. The devastating floods that hit Valencia and the Valencian Community in October 2024, caused by the into the R4RE (Resilience for Real Estate) platform The climate exposure analysis model used meets DANA weather phenomenon (depresión atmosférica aislada en niveles altos, isolated high-altitude and developed by theObservatoire de l’immo- the three criteria of the European taxonomy: depression), illustrate the intensification of climate risks that our facilities may face.

ZOOMON. . . A solar film to combat rising temperatures Development of the adaptation plan by In the Netherlands, our approach to climate change adaptation is based on innovation. In 2024, identifying priorities the Twello and Gouda homes experimented with the installation of an invisible solar film on their windows, in partnership with the company Reflect Glasfilm. This cutting-edge technology combines Following the climate risk analysis, the Bat-Adapt These contributions are considered in the construc- UV protection and thermal insulation, responding to the growing challenges associated with rising platform proposes recommendations for adaptivetion of new buildings and in renovation projects for temperatures. actions for each climate hazard to reduce theexisting buildings. The film applied to glass surfaces acts as a selective barrier that filters solar radiation while preserving identified risks. the natural brightness of living spaces. Its thermal insulation capacity helps maintain a more stable Priority homes have been identified using a risk ambient temperature, keeping rooms cool and delaying the build-up of heat during the summer months. This analysis and these recommendations haveanalysis matrix for each building, enabling the enabled us to prioritise adaptive actions as part of deployment of actions tailored to each local context, This experiment is part of our strategy to improve energy efficiency and resident comfort. By naturally a multi-risk strategy, favouring adaptation actions some of which reduce several climate-related risks reducing the heat load, this solution helps to reduce the demand on air conditioning systems, generating that can simultaneously address several hazards simultaneously. substantial energy savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Initial results show a significant improvement in thermal comfort, which is particularly appreciated by our customers during hot spells. or offer advantages linked to other co-benefi ts, such as health and safety, well-being and/or biodiversity preservation. 94 95 4202 TROPER YTILIBANIATSUSSEGNELLAHC LATNEMNORIVNE RUO
