In terms of energy savings alone, they have a huge impact on the cost of running a building. And today, green buildings – LEED certified and silver buildings – can be built for not a penny more than conventional buildings on a first cost basis. But there are so many other financial indicators that matter as well. But one place they make a huge bottom line difference is in the 89% of your cost dollar that goes to employee salaries and benefits. We’re able to show now that productivity in green buildings is significantly higher, that it’s a big recruiting perq, that the health benefits also come into play in a big way. Here’s just two data points from one of several studies – Better lighting – either high performance task lighting or day light, dramatically improves productivity. BOMA says temperature controls are the biggest complaint tenants and occupants have. Green buildings make it possible to have more individualized temperature controls, leading to additional productivity benefits. And productivity isn’t just about making things better and faster – look at what we’re seeing in schools, where the test scores are higher, in the hospitals where discharge can come sooner, in retail where sales are higher . . . . The impacts of green building on productivity are tremendous. Think about your employees and tenants – here’s how they view the benefits in working in green buildings, and as we get more and more visibility for green buildings, more and more people are using it as a decision criteria. But where we’re really seeing it show up is in health benefits. LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – is the leading green building rating system in the country. It’s a roadmap for how buildings can be built to meet high performance standards so desired by te
