Responsible for 40% of global energy consumption, buildings represent one of the largest opportunities for energy use reduction through efficiency and green building solutions. While both strategies will contribute to the achievement of owner, operator, developer, tenant, and overall government sustainability targets, efficiency solutions will play a larger role in developed economies given the long-life of real estate assets and the large proportion of existing building stock that older assets will continue to represent for decades to come. In many cases, these solutions are self funding with short payback periods and offer real estate owners, operators, and developers tangible opportunities to improve their profitability and asset values.
Cleantech Approach works with large private and public owners, operators, and developers of real estate — across all major asset classes, including commercial office, industrial, institutional, mixed-use, residential, and retail — in their sustainability planning, investment, and deployment decisions.
