Here’s what we consider the benefits of going green?

Recognizing the need to assist property owners in planning for energy efficiency, occupant health and other environmental improvements, Safety First Green Inc launched its national effort to Go Green. LEED or Going Green has been widely and rapidly accepted by the commercial real estate industry as an emblem of environmental compliance and good stewardship.

Companies that have “greened” their buildings are now enjoying immense benefits.

For example the Bank of America has found that green projects1:

• Have higher lease-up (20%) and occupancy (8%) rates than average
• Have commanded rents up to 10% higher than market rate
• Conform to environmental and insurance standards for occupational health and safety
• Every dollar saved in operating expenses from green building yields ten dollars in increased property value per square foot
• Energy efficiency and environmental considerations are at the forefront of business considerations. Ninety four percent of corporate real estate executives surveyed in 2007 rated energy efficiency as either the most important issues or an important issue on the list of issues they will face over the next decade. More than two thirds say they will increase their budgets and efficiency over the next five years.
• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the building industry can reduce energy usage by up to 30 per cent simply by improving operating standards. If a one million square foot portfolio can reduce its energy consumption by just 10 percent it would mean a potential $2.5 million in asset value increase.
• Moreover, commercial property owners in the US spend nearly $93 billion on energy annually; studies show that in a portfolio of 100 million square feet inefficiency represents almost $40 million in excess energy spending
