Swiss Life Asset Managers assessed the physical climate risks of a 1992 office building in Paris while operating under strict CAPEX limits. Using climate risk analyses from Deepki, Swiss Re and R4RE Batadapt, the team identified low cost resilience measures that aligned with an existing 5 million euro renovation plan. Ninety seven percent of adaptation actions also improved energy efficiency, avoiding additional spending. The project shows how combining adaptation and mitigation supports compliance with Décret Tertiaire and CRREM pathways while keeping investment within budget.
