The utility of enclosed space is the basic performance measure for built assets. Historically these assets have been assessed on the ability of the occupier to pay for the space, resulting in an expression of the financial return from the investment. This concept is being expanded today by astute investors who are taking account of longer-term considerations, and, in particular, the sustained optimal utility of the space. This paper is concerned with the development of triple bottom line performance benchmarks for operational built assets. Specifically it maps out the conceptual changes taking place from short-term financial agendas to longer-term economic, environmental and social considerations. While reasonable progress has been made developing environmental rating systems for building design and operation, significantly less work has been done identifying and measuring the social factors relating to built assets. With this in mind, particular emphasis is placed on the identification and measurement of the most relevant social issues. The case study research of the CRC-CI project on ‘The Evaluation of the Functional Performance of Commercial Buildings’ is outlined, and the complementary work of other leading researchers in this field is reviewed. Finally, avenues for further research are suggested. Keywords: Social indicators, efficiency, environmental benchmarks, evaluation, cultural issues

Using a panel data set, a hedonic model is estimated to determine the characteristics of buildings that have influenced the market value assessments of a set of historic and non-historically designated buildings. Holding constant the characteristics of buildings, the findings indicate higher assessed values for some classes of historic buildings. Furthermore, using a two-stage Heckman sample selection model, the findings show that the expenditures on renovations contribute significantly to the change in assessed values of buildings, although less than might be expected. These and other results may be helpful in the design of cost effective rehabilitation strategies for historic preservation.

This paper will provide a methodology for the cost justification of standard vs. green building construction. Although very little comprehensive analysis has been performed, it is often reported that green construction can result in significant cost savings via improved employee productivity, health and safety; as well as savings from energy, maintenance, and other operational costs. This paper will outline an approach to examine improvements in worker productivity, health and safety, maintenance costs, and energy savings used in an ongoing research project. This project utilizes the PNC Firstside Center, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as its case study. The performance of the green building will be compared to standard building cases.

Pima County has been facing dwindling water supplies for some time, a situation exacerbated by the current drought. As such, water conservation measures beyond the levels promulgated by the federal government and currently adopted code need to be enacted to preserve the future of our desert environment. However, water resources cannot be regarded in isolation as they are inextricably related to other resources such as energy. Each kWh of thermoelectric generation requires approximately 25 gallons of water with additional amounts used for operating pollution control devices. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that in 2000, 346 billion gallons of freshwater were used per day in the U.S accounting for approximately 39% of total freshwater withdrawals. While only 3% of these withdrawals are actually consumed by the generation process, it still accounts for approximately 10.4 billion gallons per day in 2006. Hence low performance buildings and the manufacture of building materials requiring large amounts of energy contribute indirectly to taxing our water resources.

Green building - the construction of buildings designed to minimize environmental impact and resource use - has become significantly more common in the past decade. Many local and state governments have enacted policies designed to stimulate green building. These policies generally include information provision and subsidies for private green development as well as outright greenness requirements for all government buildings. Despite this commitment from government and despite substantial evidence that green buildings are financially beneficial for private owners, the private sector has been very slow to embrace green building. This Note argues that barriers to innovation in the real estate industry have rendered ineffective these local government attempts to stimulate green building, and suggests that impact fees - fees imposed by local governments on land use development - will be more successful in pushing private real estate developers to build green. Although the use of these fees is subject to both state and federal constitutional constraints, an appropriately designed fee can maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of this proposal while also ensuring that the fees are constitutional.

Jurisdictions across the United States are finding out as they enact laws and executive orders requiring that all new government buildings be built to meet “green building” standards designed by the U.S. Green Building Council.1 Governments at all levels are promoting the standards, known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) as a one-size-fits-all strategy to make government buildings more environmentally friendly. Ironically, the standards were not designed to be used this way. LEED mandates are likely to raise the costs of housing for consumers as well as increase tax burdens of citizens in cities and towns that rigidly apply LEED to public projects.

This paper helps define responsible property investing (RPI) by using the Delphi Method to prioritize criteria for the evaluation of property investments. An international panel from the real estate and social investing sectors evaluated 66 criteria in terms of materiality to investors and importance to the public interest. A moderate to strong level of consensus was achieved. Criteria were ranked in terms of their materiality for financial performance and their importance to the public interest. Top ranked criteria were energy efficiency and conservation, high level of public transport services, transit-oriented development, daylight and natural ventilation, and contributes to higher density, mixed-use walkable places. There were few to no significant differences among the panellists by industry, gender or nationality. Factor analysis uncovered ten dimensions underlying the criteria. Based on this analysis, the panel would emphasize the creation of less automobile-dependent and more energy-efficient cities where worker well-being and urban revitalization are priorities. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating tools were compared with the results and found to be much stronger on environmental criteria than social concerns. The results can guide RPI portfolio audits, database development, third-party assessments of property companies, strategic consulting, the development of corporate reporting standards, RPI certification procedures, updated green building assessment tools, and cost-benefit studies to help guide asset managers.

Green building is slowly becoming mainstream, and homebuyers are beginning to generate demand for green homes. But just as there is no commonly held definition of “green home,” there is no “green buyer.” Homebuying is quite complex, and for some, green is just one of a multitude of factors that may influence their home purchasing decision. RCLCO’s research has uncovered a variety of buyer motivations that may drive demand for green homes, which can be categorized into three main categories: The Environment

Green building is no longer the passion of a few; it is the new standard for commercial and residential developments alike. Green design is an undisputed selling point, remarkably enhancing commercial and residential project value. Green building practices reduce the tremendous impact that building design, construction, and maintenance have on both people and nature The concept of environmentally friendly real estate is so ubiquitous today that green can be used to describe building without concern that readers will think it refers to the color of a structure.

Wiley, J. A., Benefield, J. D., & Johnson, K. H. "Green Design and the Market for Commercial Office Space".
This paper considers the relationship between energy-efficient design and the leasing/sales markets for commercial real estate. An economic model is provided that considers lease rates and occupancy in simultaneous equilibrium. The behavior of both is predicted to be influenced by efficient design attributes. Selling price is determined by both rents and occupancy; therefore the impact of efficient design on commercial sales activity should be distributed through the leasing market. The model is tested empirically using a national sample of sales and leasing data for class A office buildings. The evidence indicates that “green” buildings achieve superior rents and sustain significantly higher occupancy. The improved performance in the rental market is reflected in a significant premium for the selling price of Energy Star-labeled and LEED-certified properties.
