Why alvéole

Common questions

Clear answers on how Alvéole support green building certifications, and what your team needs to know.
How does urban beekeeping contribute to green building certifications?
An Alvéole program introduces managed pollinator habitat, biodiversity monitoring, and tenant engagement that certification frameworks are designed to reward. One program, seven certifications, zero workload added to your team.
Which specific credits or points does an Alvéole program contribute to?
BREEAM awards up to 10 credits for an Ecology Report and Biodiversity Management Plan. LEED offers up to 5 points under the Innovation credit. For GRESB, Alvéole supports the Tenants & Community and ESG Requirements sections.
How do green building certifications increase property value?
LEED-certified office buildings command significantly higher rents than non-certified ones, according to CBRE analysis. Beyond rent, certification shapes investor valuation, financing eligibility, and tenant attraction.
How does certification support our GRESB score?
Building certifications account for about 10.5% of your total GRESB score, enough to shift your star rating. Alvéole directly supports the tenant engagement and ESG requirements sections where most portfolios leave points unclaimed.
What documentation does Alvéole provide?
Subscriber counts, nature impact metrics, and site-specific biodiversity tracking provide quantifiable outputs for GRESB and CSRD reporting, delivered by Alvéole, not your property team.
