Sustainability

HypZert scoring model for sustainability criteria available in Lora

For future-proof financing and valuation, sustainability criteria and ESG risks relating to the property must be assessed, and the corresponding data must be collected on a long-term basis.

To ensure that these criteria can be appropriately represented and assessed in LORA, the ESG scoring is available to you with the current release in the valuation report types short valuation report, full valuation report, real estate agent valuation and the “light” value indication in the Rating interface. The ESG scoring is based on the scoring for sustainability risks developed by HypZert GmbH and vdpResearch GmbH, and has been integrated into LORA in cooperation with both partners.

The ESG scoring is a standardised procedure that identifies and measures the sustainable characteristics of a property, taking into account its energy-related characteristics, location-specific environmental and climate risks, and the environmental impacts caused by the property. The benchmark is the current and future CO₂ emissions generated by the use of the property and its location on the cut-off date, as well as the degree of fulfilment of the existing environmental objectives in accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation.

The ESG scoring is divided into the following criteria groups, enabling a comprehensive assessment of a property’s sustainability from an expert’s perspective:

- Environment / climate risk
- Plot
- Building
- Energy 

The ESG scoring for properties is based on a 6-level rating scale and a final grade. The ESG scoring is supported for residential and office properties in the current release. The overall and individual scorings are shown in the printouts for all valuation report types. In addition, the ESG scoring data can be evaluated externally in LORA. For this purpose, the Excel export in LORA has been expanded to include the relevant information.

Are you missing essential data sources to complete the ESG scoring? on-geo supports you with the appropriate Geoport products.

- KARL – extended version (criteria group environment/climate risks) COMING SOON
- Inspection with ESG check (criteria group plot and building)
- Geoport location check for LORA (criteria group plot)
- Geoport energy check for LORA (criteria group energy)
- as well as the energy performance certificate

You can find the guideline for the HypZert scoring model for sustainability criteria integrated into LORA:  https://www.hypzert.de/system/files/files/2024-08/20240328_Leitfaden-ESG-Scoring_Buero.pdf

Data

Berlin/Erfurt, 18/06/2025 – smartextract (a brand of dida Datenschmiede GmbH), specialist in AI-based document processing, and on-geo GmbH, market leader in software-based market and mortgage lending value solutions for property experts, surveyors and real estate service providers, are entering into an exclusive partnership in the field of land register data extraction for the finance and real estate industry.

Through the integration of the AI solution smartextract into existing software products such as Lora, on-geo enables fast and digital extraction of land register data for banks, financial intermediaries, surveyors, real estate agents and insurers. This replaces, among other things, the manual transfer of land register information into the valuation software, allowing the AI to significantly reduce the users’ workload while increasing data quality. In addition, the use of smartextract substantially optimises the digitisation of land register content already offered via the Geoport web shop, enabling considerably faster data provision than before. This also applies to on-geo’s offering for processing entire portfolios. The option to integrate smartextract into third-party systems is also planned for the future. This makes the entire property valuation process more efficient and cost-effective.

“With the integration of smartextract.ai into our software solutions, we are taking another step in the digital transformation of the real estate and finance sector. Through our collaboration with smartextract, we can now offer our customers an even more efficient solution for land register data extraction and actively shape the future of the real estate sector,” says Matthias Knabe, Managing Director at on-geo.

“We share with on-geo the conviction that AI technology not only accelerates workflows but can set new efficiency standards. This partnership is a logical and consistent step to sustainably support the digitalisation of the real estate and finance sector with intelligent document processes,” says Axel Besinger, VP Product & Growth at smartextract.ai.

Yes, you read that correctly: a children’s book. And not just any book, but the first children’s book for little property valuation experts – created in cooperation with HypZert GmbH and with plenty of passion, enthusiasm and, of course, a good dose of real estate love.


**Why a children’s book?**

If you are now wondering “Why on earth a children’s book about property valuation?”, then let me explain briefly.

About a year ago, at the “Treffpunkt Immobilienkommunikation”, I was musing during a panel discussion. I talked about podcasts, internships and how to inspire young people for the real estate industry. And suddenly the idea appeared: why not start much earlier? Why not spark enthusiasm for our sector already in childhood?

The idea was there, and so was the motivation – only the detailed expertise for every potential specialism was missing. But fortunately, there were people in the audience with exactly that expertise – and with the desire to join in. There was a warm “I’m happy to be part of this!” and I knew: we’ll do it.


**From the idea to the #ImmoMinis book series**

With a bit of persuasion I was also able to excite my colleagues at on-geo GmbH (including approval of the budget – thanks again!). And so we began with a topic close to our heart: **valuation experts and surveyors.**

Together with the wonderful Tanja Reiss from HypZert, who brings real expertise to the table, we got to work. And eventually, there was Charly, our main character. Whether Charly is a boy or a girl? Each child decides that for themselves.

**What makes the book special**

“My parents are surveyors” is not a dry factual book. It is lovingly illustrated, told in a child-friendly way and gives a playful insight into the everyday work of property valuation experts. It is aimed both at children who want to understand what Mum or Dad actually do for a living, and at experts themselves who want to explain their profession to their families in a likeable way.

The illustrations are hand-painted, the texts written by humans – without ChatGPT or Midjourney. And you can feel that in the book: it is created with genuine passion! 


**What comes next**

This book is only the beginning. It marks the launch of the new #ImmoMinis series. More books are already being planned – featuring other professions in the real estate industry and additional co-authors from the sector.

For our goal is clear: we want to inspire the next generation for the exciting, diverse and often underestimated world of the real estate industry. And what could be better suited for that than a children’s book?

Obtaining documents for mortgages is an essential part of the process for banks. Increasing regulatory requirements are making document procurement more difficult, which in turn makes the mortgage process even more cost-intensive.

As a mortgage lender, however, you rely on extensive information — including the energy efficiency details of the property. But what do you do when you need the energy performance certificate and it is not available?

The solution is **„Accumin Home“**: Since April 2025, on-geo offers a fast and affordable way **for the borrower** to obtain the energy performance certificate. 

As a first step, we offer the creation of energy consumption and energy performance certificates for private customers via www.DeinEnergieausweis.com. You and your clients can make use of this service **immediately**, ensuring full regulatory compliance. We are pleased that BW-Bank / LBBW is already successfully offering this service to its clients. 

Additional products for obtaining mandatory documents will follow.



**What are the benefits for you as a mortgage lender?**

- No costs for document procurement
- Excellent document availability
- Trusted partner with decades of market experience
- More cost-efficient valuation


**What are the benefits for your customer?**

- Trusted partner with decades of market experience
- Excellent value for money
- Wide variety of products
- Robust documents accepted by lenders
- Simple data collection via app – convenient and digital


**What do you need to do to benefit from these advantages?**

“Accumin Home” can be integrated in several ways: as a link on your website, through flyers and brochures, or via recommendations by sales channels.

**Process and cost optimisation has never been easier.**

Accumate: the next generation of digital property valuation

energieausweis.png

With Accumate, a new chapter begins in the digital valuation of residential and commercial properties. The tool previously known as STmate has been fundamentally redesigned and now features a modern design, optimised user guidance and numerous new functions.

The proven quality remains – enhanced with new strengths aligned with current and future industry requirements.

**Fast, secure, transparent**

Especially in the finance and real estate sector, speed is a crucial success factor. Accumate meets this demand with automated valuation processes that are not only efficient but also “audit-ready” – ideal for banks that need to keep their collateral portfolios continuously in view and reliably meet regulatory requirements such as monitoring according to CRR. Every individual valuation is documented in a traceable manner, ensuring maximum transparency.

Surveyors and real estate agents also benefit from Accumate. Valuations can be created quickly and clearly, supplemented by attractively designed reports and comprehensive market information. The system provides well-founded decision-making support without compromising usability.

Investors receive a powerful tool for the continuous monitoring of their property investments. Changes in the value of individual assets or entire portfolios are automatically identified and analysed. Extensive data supports strategic planning as well as detailed market analyses.

**Internationality as a driver of success**

A distinctive feature of Accumate is its international orientation: the platform is available in several languages – including German, English, Spanish, French and Dutch – and is already prepared for use in Germany, Belgium, Spain and Chile. This positions Accumate as a future-proof tool for global markets.

Technologically, Accumate is based on an international development partnership: teams from Germany, Spain, Belgium and Chile contribute their expertise to create a solution that is not only technically convincing but also culturally adaptable.

**Transformation meets proven features**

The official launch of Accumate took place on 30 April 2025. This marks the end of the STmate era, a model that served many users as a reliable valuation tool – and whose strengths have now been transferred into Accumate. The proven features were not discarded but consistently developed further.

Accumate stands for a new level of property valuation: fast, data-driven, transparent.
