How to Integrate Climate Risk into Your Due Diligence

Ignoring these risks during due diligence can lead to unexpected repair costs, higher insurance premiums, and reduced tenant demand. For example, properties in flood-prone areas may face repeated damage, while those unprepared for heat extremes might incur higher energy costs and equipment failures.

Understanding these vulnerabilities upfront allows investors to make informed decisions and negotiate better terms.

1. Climate Hazard Screening: Use specialized climate risk data tools to identify exposure to hurricanes, flooding, heatwaves, and storms specific to the property’s Alabama location3.
2. Physical Vulnerability Assessment: Evaluate the building’s resilience, including roofing, HVAC systems, drainage, and structural integrity against identified hazards.
3. Financial Impact Analysis: Estimate potential costs from climate-related damage, increased maintenance, insurance, and operational disruptions4.
4. Regulatory and Market Review: Stay updated on Alabama’s evolving climate policies and insurance market changes that may affect property costs and compliance.
5. Resilience Planning: Recommend mitigation measures such as flood defenses, energy-efficient upgrades, and emergency preparedness to reduce risk exposure.
