"Green" on Paper, Underperforming in Reality: Why Buildings Still Miss Sustainability Targets

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has recently published its 2025 Sustainability Report, and the picture for green buildings is getting weaker. Demand for sustainable real estate is cooling in most regions, many projects are stalling over high upfront costs and uncertain payback, and almost half of construction professionals still don’t measure carbon on their projects – a share that has actually grown over the past year. Energy-efficiency experts from Exergio,
