'Green' buildings: Good for business.
A new study of buildings in North America and the UK reveals a clear link between the market value of commercial property and its environmental friendliness.
RICS Chief Executive, Louis Armstrong, says:"40% of carbon emissions come from buildings. Finding incentives to make them ?greener? in design and operation is critical."
The international study was led by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in partnership with 10 government and private sector organisations, and finds that green buildings can:
Earn higher rents and prices
Attract tenants and buyers more quickly
Cut tenant turnover
Cost less to operate and maintain
Benefit occupiers
