Editor's Notes
- • in the us buildings account for 72% of electricity consumption, • 39% of energy use, • 38% of all carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, • 40% of raw materials use, • 30% of waste output (136 million tons annually), and • 14% of potable water consumption. In New York City, buildings account for 79% of carbon emissions e. The commercial real estate market is one of the most significant players in the country’s attempt to meet its environmental goals
- LEED projects dramatically increased over the past year. For example, in NYC there are 90 LEED certified projects completed in all product types as of April 2010 400 ongoing LEED projects have been registered
- Operating costs decrease 8-9% Building value increases 7.5% Return on investment improves 6.6% Occupancy ratio increases 3.5% Rent ratio increases 3% Reduced Operating Costs 2008 (New Buildings Institute study that indicated third party certified buildings outperform their conventional counterparts across a wide variety of metrics. New LEED‐certified buildings energy usage is 25‐30% better than non‐LEED certified buildings Energy star buildings use approximately 40% less energy than average buildings and emit 35% less carbon. Costar 2008 study shows LEED buildings commanded rent premiums of $11.24/ft2 over their non‐LEED have 3.8% higher occupancy. Rental rates in ENERGY STAR buildings represented a $2.38/ft2 premium over comparable non‐ENERGY STAR® buildings and had 3.6% higher occupancy. ENERGY STAR buildings are selling for an average of $61/ft2 more than their peers, while LEED buildings are commanding an average of $171/ft2 more than non‐LEED® buildings. CoStar’s findings were based on a study of more than 1,300 LEED certified and ENERGY STAR buildings representing about 351 million ft2 in CoStar’s commercial property database of roughly 44 billion ft2 nationwide. These buildings were compared to non‐green properties with similar size, location, class, tenancy and year‐built characteristics.
