The "National Plan on Neutral Energy Building" ("National Plan") was launched in June 2011 by a former agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (Agentschap NL). The National Plan describes measures to foster energy saving in the Netherlands and lays down a strategy to ensure that all buildings completed after 2020 will be in accordance with the BENG. Energy neutrality for buildings entails that a building generates as much energy as it consumes. The National Plan is revised and updated every five years in line with the developments to provide clarity and reliability for companies facing complex and expensive investments.

"Green Deals" were established by the authorities in 2011. These are agreements between authorities and companies, public organizations, and individuals that attempt to remove barriers facing companies and institutions that strive to save energy. Some of these barriers include the principal/agent problem of actors' conflicting interests (e.g., for leased premises and public organizations with separate financing of the building and yearly energy costs) or the short payback periods that customers require. Initially, deals were only meant for energy-saving measures. However, they can now also apply to commodities such as biodiversity and mobility. A "bottom-up" approach characterizes Green Deals as the responsibility for realizing green growth shifts to society, whereas the role of the authorities becomes increasingly facilitating. The Green Deal scheme is cautious with government subsidies and primarily aims to remove barriers to investment in green mechanisms.

The Climate Agreement (Klimaatakkoord) signed in 2019 is the successor of the Energy Agreement for Sustainable Growth 2013. The Climate Agreement contains agreements with five sectors on measurements that have to be taken to achieve the Paris climate targets of 2015. The Climate Agreement contributes to the climate goals from the Climate Act 2019 (Klimaatwet). The measures announced in the Climate Agreement include extra investments, such as sustainable energy sources; the introduction and implementation of a CO2 tax for companies; and the introduction of environmental zones. These measures can affect the real estate sector.
