Sustainability is no longer a sentiment in the property market: it is a rating on the certificate, a floor in the letting law, a clause in the lease, a covenant in the loan and a line in the valuation report. An E-rated shop that cannot lawfully be let, a design-stage award mistaken for performance, a carbon assessment that counts the wrong modules, a habitat shortfall discovered after the land was bought — each is a professional risk with a price.
Sustainability and Climate Change for Property Professionals is a bilingual (English–Arabic) working guide that follows the four-module structure of the programme. It begins with the foundation: what sustainability and sustainable development mean, the triple bottom line, the climate treaties from the Framework Convention to the Paris Agreement, the outcomes of the Glasgow and Sharm El-Sheikh conferences, and what net zero by 2050 asks of a building portfolio. It then sets out the legislative framework and energy efficiency — minimum energy standards and their exemptions, performance and display certificates, carbon reporting and energy audits, the Green Deal, the standards in day-to-day practice and how an energy rating reaches market value. The third module assesses sustainability in property: the main certification schemes, the professional duty to collect, consider and report sustainability characteristics, how to value them on evidence, embodied and whole-life carbon, and the sustainability matrix that turns all of it into a report. The final module applies it strategically: sustainable design, off-site manufacturing, green leases, investor and lender requirements, green mortgages, social value and biodiversity net gain.
Inside:
– 24 concise chapters in a side-by-side English–Arabic layout

From the Publisher

Every title in this library is written for practising valuers and the professionals who work alongside them: appraisers, surveyors, analysts, auditors and consultants. Each book presents its material in English and Arabic together, so a concept learned in one language is immediately usable in the other – the working reality for practitioners across the Middle East and North Africa.

The books are structured for study rather than reference-only reading. Each chapter closes with self-tests, and full answer keys are included, so you can check your own understanding before applying it to a live instruction. Worked examples follow the sequence of an actual engagement: define the problem, gather and analyse the evidence, apply the appropriate approach, and reach a conclusion you can defend.

Titles progress from foundation through intermediate to advanced, so the library can be followed as a path or used one volume at a time.
