Green housing investments. What solutions do the buyer ask about?

“Ecological solutions in housing. What is interested in customers today?” – This is the latest probe conducted by the RynekPierwotny.pl portal. As its originators noted, ecology in housing is no longer just a marketing slogan, but a specific response to the growing expectations of buyers.

“Customers are increasingly asking about the energy parameters of buildings, technologies that reduce energy consumption and solutions that realistically affect operating costs. This is understandable – sustainable investments today mean benefits not only for the environment, but also for the household budget,” say experts from the Rynek Pierwytny.pl portal.

10 developers asked about what ecological solutions attract the attention of buyers.

Ecological technologies in housing

According to developers’ answers, ecological solutions play an increasingly important role in new housing investments, which respond to both the growing social awareness and the needs of saving operating costs. Key technologies are primarily photovoltaic installations mounted on the roofs of buildings, which allow you to obtain solar energy and a real reduction in electricity bills. Heat pumps and solar collectors supporting water and buildings are also more common. Energy -saving LED lighting in common parts, supported by motion and dusk sensors, becomes the standard, which allows for effective energy consumption management.

Housing construction – green solutions and infrastructure for electromobility

Investors also implement advanced rainwater retention systems, such as rain gardens, greenery watering tanks and pots with hydrophilic vegetation. Green roofs, terraces and walls are another element improving the microclimate, increasing the biologically active surface and supporting biodiversity. In many projects, great importance is attached to the development of infrastructure for electromobility – electric car charging stations are created, and developers also offer the options for their individual installation. Solutions supporting alternative forms of transport – such as bicycle infrastructure, stands, bicycle and repair stations are also increasingly appearing.

Ekobudnictwo – projects with environmental certification

In premium projects and organic towns also introduce more advanced initiatives – such as their own wind farms producing energy for residents or full environmental certifications of investments in accordance with systems such as Breeam. The interest in Smart Home systems is also growing, which allow residents to remotely control the temperature, light or media consumption, increasing comfort and reducing the costs of maintenance. Customers are also increasingly asking about the thermal parameters of buildings, the energy class, the type of insulation and the quality of the materials used, because balanced solutions are already a real real estate criterion.

What is interested in customers buying apartment today?

The results of the RynekPierwotny.pl portal indicate that the buyers are looking for:

• real savings – lower bills for energy, water and heating,

• comfort of life – silence, better microclimate, social integration,

• reliable data and specific solutions – customers expect detailed technical information, not just the general narrative of “eco”,

• ecological solutions – every third customer is actively interested in this aspect (previously every fourth),

• aesthetics and quality of life – green roofs, terraces, courtyards, small architecture.
