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.

CBS Interactive leases 34,622 sqft in LEED certified building!
As a strong proponent of LEED certification in Commercial Buildings, I am happy to share that CBS Interactive has signed a long-term office lease for 34,622 sqft of office space in the 1401 Crown Center building in Fort Lauderdale as reported to-day in the Daily Business Review. http://www.dailybusinessreview.com/news.html?news_id=58127
The broker quotes 3 major components to CBS's decision to relocate to Crown Center: minimal employee disruption during the move, more efficiency with the space, and a LEED certified building.
In the Cypress Creek market area vacancy is quoted in CoStar at 15.1% in Class-B buildings with an overall net absorption of -120,869.00 just in the Cypress Creek sub-market.
Lynn-Ann Ierna, the director of Property Management for Midgard Properties, can attest to the cost savings the Crown Center property has experienced as a direct result of pursuing LEED-EBOM (Existing Building Operations and Maintenance) on other Crown Center buildings. Now Midgard has bragging rights for having a fully leased LEED-NC (New Construction, Major Renovation) project on their campus in a very challenging market.
