By now, the entire commercial real estate market has heard of benchmarking; it’s even mandated in a number of regions. But who’s actually benchmarking and what are they getting out of it? Join this session to learn best practices and insights into how you can go beyond benchmarking to add value to your portfolio. Emily Pearce from Waypoint Building Group will provide the value proposition for benchmarking across a portfolio, and how to go beyond benchmarking to get the most value from the data. Jeff Gerwig from Colliers International will provide insights into how his firm successfully encouraged its property management country-wide to benchmark their buildings, and what actions he plans to take once the data hits critical volume. Learn how to leverage benchmarking data to identify underachieving buildings in a portfolio and directly connect them with efficiency opportunities.
