Why Build It Green?
I’m quoted in the online Matter magazine recently talking about the business case for green buildings. It’s not at all about energy savings. To quote the interview: Builders of green commercial properties may not be able to recover the higher costs in rent, but other factors can make the enhancements justifiable, according to Yudelson. “You can attract higher quality tenants who are willing to sign longer leases and reduce your carrying costs by leasing properties quicker,” he says. Green buildings also have higher resale values, Yudelson says.
