But the energy transition in real estate is complex: buildings generate 39 percent of global CO\u2082 emissions, and despite growing demand for sustainable real estate, many European cities &#8211; Milan included &#8211; are at risk of having more than 75 percent of their building stock obsolete by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e9158c\"><em>\u201cWhen we talk about the market we are certainly referring to investors, but more importantly to the people who will live or work in these buildings.

Reducing the use of concrete and adopting natural materials is one of the most effective strategies for lowering the environmental footprint of construction,\u201d Corbella explains. \u201cI must add that on this aspect, on the full circularity of the sector, the road ahead is very long, because we have fewer levers to be able to study the supply chain and act on its processes and operational choices. Certainly we can influence it by making decisions at the design stage, by dialoguing with our architects and engineers.

Today we have digital tools that allow us to monitor energy in real time and <strong>identify where to take action<\/strong> to reduce waste. Until now, in fact, the only tangible data that building owners and managers know for sure is how much they pay in utility bills. However, this information, while critical, does not provide true quantitative data from an engineering perspective, nor does it allow them to accurately identify areas for energy optimization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e91e02\">From this perspective, thanks to technological advances, COIMA is now able <strong>to scientifically measure building consumption. Artificial intelligence<\/strong>, for example, is also becoming a key tool in the real estate sector: \u201cWe are actively working on this front, because it could represent a significant competitive advantage.
