Cortex Sustainability Intelligence has released its official report detailing four pressing initiatives for sustainability in commercial real estate (CRE) in 2022. The guide, developed by the decarbonization experts behind the sustainability intelligence platform currently serving Empire State Realty Trust, JLL, RXR Realty, and more, offers insight to not only help CRE leaders determine which decarbonization methods to implement in their office buildings, but how to prioritize initiatives based on their sustainability and financial goals.
The guide addresses the following four methods to achieve decarbonization in commercial buildings:
- HVAC Equipment Upgrades
- LED Lighting
- Window Replacement and Retrofitting
- Sustainability Intelligence Platform
In CRE, Decarbonization Is About Prioritization
As a part of Cortex’s goal in making the challenge of decarbonizing office buildings a more manageable feat to conquer, the guide provides a breakdown of:
- The effectiveness of each carbon reduction methods
- The time to realize savings
- Disruption to ongoing operations and tenants
But, with building decarbonization, every initiative is important as buildings strive towards Net Zero goals and deadlines. To help provide the most useful aid in this decision process, the report focuses on providing context on how CRE can strategically prioritize their initiatives in a way that reduces the most amount of environmental impact without breaking their ESG budgets.
