State of the Industry Report 2007-2008

Chapter Five regIonal dIfferenCes united states Focus is on energy prices and managing use, as seen in the 2007 study with Rocky Mountain Institute. Drivers are cost and corporate responsibility. pan europe, Canada and australia Focus is on carbon emissions and reducing the footprint in these three places. This goes beyond buildings to commuting and other ways of reducing one’s ‘personal’ footprint. Government regulation is a primary driver. australia and pan asia Asia’s focus is on resources. In China, construction materials are a driver. In India, it’s water. here’s what Core 2010 said would happen: • The CRE function will have a leading role to play in managing the sustainability agenda within a corporation here’s where we are today: • Our Applied Research Center (ARC) findings show the spiraling cost of energy, especially oil, has created a mandate for better enterprise-wide energy management, so that reducing energy costs, consumption and emissions is now viewed as a prime leadership opportunity for CRE of the many areas that define the broad spectrum of sustainable practices and the Triple Bottom Line joint arC survey with jones lang lasalle sustaInabIlIty surVey ConClusIons • There’s a widespread understanding of the importance of sustainability on a global level. • It is now viewed as a significant and immediate opportunity. • There’s a surging velocity of change driving the issue to the forefront. • It costs less than thought and ROI comes sooner, not later. • Energy and carbon emissions are now framing the issue. • That’s because with 40% of all energy being used by commercial buildings, solutions to reducing cost and carbon emission must be real-estate based, so why shouldn’t they be real-estate and workplace driven? joint arC study with rocky mountain Institute global summIt ‘green’ foCus atlanta 2007 • daily reports • presentations london 2007 • daily reports • presentations melbourne 2007 • learn more • presentations chapter five denver 2007 • daily reports • presentations singapore 2007 • daily reports • presentations Change IndICator For the first time, CoreNet Global offered a unified learning theme in all five Global Summits held in 2007, selecting beyond green buildings as a main focus. of note In 2007 • CB Richard Ellis set a 10-year goal to go carbon neutral across its global portfolio. • The GSA is guiding standards for all new properties in its massive Federal portfolio to meet LEED™ Silver level status. energy Challenge surVey ConClusIons • Energy efficiency is growing in importance, but corporations don’t have the management structures in place yet to realize improvements effectively. • The responsibility for energy efficiency is given to facility managers. • Fewer than half of corporations have energy policies or consumption targets in place, and fewer have active energy management systems that track data, identify problem areas, and help managers react to needs. • While most corporate players recognize the importance of energy efficiency, they do not recognize the risk of inaction nor the ease with which effective energy management programs can be enacted. • Most barriers are just perceived barriers that can be easily and profitably overcome with smart design, integrated solutions, the right management structure, and the appropriate implementation strategy.
