Sustainable Property Investment Approach
Making Property Sustainable with Climate Change Capital
The value of commercial property is increasingly influenced by factors related to economic, environmental and social sustainability and, most specifically, by the cost of energy/carbon.
Our focus is making buildings more attractive to occupiers
through energy efficiency as there is now
widespread awareness throughout the property industry of the need
to mitigate and adapt to the risks of volatile energy supply.
At the same time, design and technological improvements are
leading towards the evolution of more sustainable buildings, which
are increasingly more desirable to occupiers and investors. In the
UK for example, the 2010 Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) energy
efficiency scheme, and continued tightening of building regulations
(Part L), makes this investment approach compelling.
This significant shift in sentiment has led to major stakeholders in commercial property focusing on the impacts of energy/carbon reduction, driven by considerations such as corporate social responsibility, brand reputation, the desire to reduce costs and the need to future-proof property investments.
