This is one of the parallel Specialized Trainings, taking place on Day 2 of 2025 GlobalABC Annual Assembly. Registration link will be shared soon.

This training will introduce the concept of digital building passports and their potential and role in decarbonizing buildings and linking them to green finance through a CAPSA training

Participants will get practical experience in data collection and processing by applying the CAPSA tool developed under the GlobalABC Data Hub. The results will be used to inform a presentation and discussion moderated by one of Germany ‘s leading platform for (green) finance brokerage, Dr. Klein Wowi Finanz AG.

A Building Passport (sometimes referred to as a Digital Building Logbook or Electronic Building File) is a whole life cycle repository of building information. It covers a building’s administrative documentation as well as data regarding its plot and location, its technical and functional characteristics, and its environmental, social and financial performance. In its fully digital realization, the Building Passport acts as a single point of input, access and visualization of all the information associated with a building. It is a living document, containing a mix of traceable static “as built” and continuous dynamic record-keeping of performance data and information.

This training will be led by Hendrik Cornehl, Head of Sustainability, Dr. Klein Wowi Finanz AG and York Ostermeyer, Chairman of the Board, CUES Foundation.
