PRE-EVENT WORKSHOP
Real Estate Price Effects of Climate Actions & Reality Check: Are
Valuation Models and Data Fit for Purpose?
Date: 23 May 2026
Time: 14:00 - 17:00
Location: Capetonian Hotel
Price: 500 ZAR (aproximately 25 EUR)
Property and land are always affected by actions to combat climate
change. Experts are increasingly discussing the impact of climate action
initiatives on real estate values. This applies both to property lending and
to government subsidies for climate protection measures.
This workshop will explore practical examples of how to assess the impact
of climate change policies on real estate values, and reflect on the
approaches, data and perspectives valuers need to consider in order to
deliver more accurate and informed valuations in this field.
The workshop will combine climate policy analysis and
real estate market research as well as valuation modelling
and AI-supported foresight to explore how market actors
(including lenders, governments, and valuers) interpret and react to climate
action. Through an interactive format, we will address how valuation
practice is evolving, what knowledge or data gaps persist, and identify new
tools required to meet emerging challenges.
Objectives
- Climate actions, the energy transition and Real Estate or Property
Values
- Approaches for valuation and gathering relevant data
- Status of global discussions and standards
- What do Valuers need for better valuations
- Present research and case studies on mass appraisal adaptation to
climate policy.
- Discuss challenges related to data transparency, data generation,
access, and interoperability in environmental analysis and valuation
Why attend
The pre-event will look at the following questions:
- How can valuation models reflect rapidly changing environmental,
regulatory, and behavioural signals in property markets?
- To what extent should valuers act as interpreters of policy, and
when should they defer to modelled evidence of market behaviour?
- Can generative AI as collaborative tools for testing value
assumptions and simulating responses to climate policies?
- How does the quality, accessibility, and interpretation of
information shape perceptions of climate risk and ultimately affect
property value?
- How do regional climate risks affect real estate values?
- Which factors motivate private homeowners to invest in
energy-efficient measures within the context of the heat transition, and
what measurable impact do these renovations have on property values?
- Stranded assets or untapped potential? Low energy performance
buildings and the “brown discount” challenge in the building sector.
