Measuring and valuing biodiversity and ecosystem services within construction projects
To help Heijmans value the impact of biodiversity and nature-inclusive measures implemented in their projects, with the aim of developing an evidence-based narrative and quantitative ecosystem valuations that showcase the benefits of nature-inclusive building.
A practical tool that will help Heijman's project managers to measure and monetise biodiversity impacts and enable the company to select project options that provide both ecological and economic benefits. Furthermore, the tool will ensure that ecosystem services are incorporated into their designs and procurement efforts, and help Heijmans meet their biodiversity targets.
Heijmans is a major European construction-services business headquartered in the Netherlands, working on real estate, residential construction, utilities and infrastructure projects. Through DP15, Impact House and Heijmans will help construction companies demonstrate the economic benefits of incorporating nature-inclusive building measures into their projects and decision-making processes with a tool that values different ecosystem scenarios.
