RESIDENTIAL NET ZERO?
Renovation: the € 80 billion challenge facing residential real estate clients
Residential Real Estate – Leading to Net Zero sets out the financial impact on homeowners of meeting future EU energy efficiency requirements for their residences. The cost to renovate an individual residence to the highest energy performance level (EPC Class A) can exceed € 100,000. To meet these requirements, the cost to Deutsche Bank’s residential real estate clients could reach around € 80 billion, at today’s prices. This is equivalent to nearly 50% of the bank’s existing real estate loan portfolio and makes clear the enormous investment requirements for German and European economies. Deutsche Bank’s analysis also shows that around two-thirds of the bank’s private clients have the financial resources to undertake energy-efficient home renovations, while the remainder will need additional financial assistance. This analysis reinforces Deutsche Bank’s conviction that the banking industry and national governments must work in partnership to support homeowners in financing the renovation of existing residences and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
