The Cost of Sustainability: Real World Data
Some facts revealed:
• Energy consumption in commercial office buildings exceeds transportation.
• Since energy costs are such a significant part of operating costs, reductions in usage has a recognizable impact on NOI.
• Energy consumption measurements are becoming a bigger factor in determining building values in California.
• The School District of Palm Beach County built the first LEED Gold-certified K-12 school in Florida. Pine Jog Elementary now serves as an efficiency model in the county's facility management decisions because of its measurable success.
• Incorporating green management practices is becoming more the norm since sustainability applies to environment and economics.
• Educating tenants and end users is key to a successful sustainability plan.
