Greenpass

Core Features

Greenpass is built around a climate-proofing methodology that combines digital-twin modelling, high-resolution environmental simulations, climate-risk assessment, and nature-based solutions. Its key capabilities include:

• Climate Risk Assessment – Evaluates physical climate risks under current and future conditions using climate scenarios and location-specific analysis.

• Digital Twin Modelling – Creates a 3D digital representation of buildings, open spaces, districts, and portfolios for detailed environmental assessment.

• Microclimate Simulation – Uses simulation engines such as ENVI-met to analyse heat, wind, and environmental performance at high spatial resolution.

• Nature-Based Solution Optimisation – Assesses the impact of vegetation, green infrastructure, and other adaptation measures on climate resilience.

• EU Taxonomy Conformity Checks – Supports assessment of climate-related requirements associated with the EU Taxonomy framework.

• Climate Resilience Certification – Provides pre-certification and certification processes based on Greenpass's climate-resilience standard.

Closing Insights

Greenpass was launched in 2018 by Vienna-based greenpass GmbH. Its development drew on more than a decade of research, international pilot projects, and collaborations involving universities, cities, and climate specialists.

The platform emerged from a practical challenge facing urban development: while climate risks such as urban heat islands, flooding, and declining biodiversity were increasingly recognised, project teams lacked consistent methods for measuring the effectiveness of adaptation measures. Greenpass addresses this through a standardized assessment framework supported by simulations, environmental indicators, and certification processes. Greenpass reports that more than 220 organisations use its platform and certification services.

Pricing varies according to project scope, certification requirements, and portfolio size.
