Increasing energy costs, including the ongoing U.S.-Israel–Iran conflict, are accelerating the shift towards sustainable energy solutions in the real estate sector. The International Energy Agency's (IEA) Global Energy Policy Outlook 2026 and related sector reports suggest that supply disruptions in the Middle East have pushed oil and natural gas prices higher, leading countries to accelerate reforms in renewable energy support mechanisms. The report also highlighted a transition from fixed-price subsidy models to market-based mechanisms, with approximately 60 percent of new energy capacity expected to be developed under these systems. Burak Ustaoğlu, Chairman of the Real Estate Investment and Technologies Association, said volatility in energy markets is driving investors towards more predictable and sustainable solutions. He warned that if geopolitical risks persist, global awareness of sustainable solutions is expected to increase, with investment preferences shifting towards renewable energy-integrated, AI-powered smart housing.
