LEED O+M Case Studies
Managing a property while incorporating environmentally friendly practices can improve building performance, reduce costs, and create a better environment for tenants. According to a study by McGraw-Hill Construction, implementing green practices can result in a 7.5% increase in building value, and a 3.5% increase in occupancy rates. How do you go about getting started? Which strategies are the most successful?
One of the best ways to incorporate successful strategies into your own practice is to learn how others in the industry have done it in the past. Learn about the TransAmerica Pyramid building, which is currently certified under LEED for Existing Buildings and going through re-certification, and 405 Howard Street in San Francisco, currently the highest scoring LEED for Existing Buildings project (90/10). This informative online workshop of case studies will focus on:
Initial steps to get started – what do I need in my "tool box?"
Best items to focus on – lowest hanging fruit and better
Architects role in Operations – How thoughtful design can make the building run better
Keeping the momentum going – selling the package to investors
Explaining the reasons behind the process – long-term gains
What to do next
And much, much more!
