Improving the sustainability of existing buildings is critical to forging a better built environment and reducing climate change impacts. An expert panel of Commercial Real Estate professionals will discuss decision making mechanisms and drivers that propel owners to invest in higher efficiency and lower impact systems. Attendees will understand how to evaluate the return on investment and prioritize initiatives to achieve their goals, how to develop comprehensive ESG short- and long-term strategies, and how to plan for and execute building sustainability certification for portfolios. Case studies from REITs Piedmont Office Realty Trust and Stoneweg will be shared to demonstrate opportunities for energy and water consumption reduction during and following retrofit projects.
