Cushman & Wakefield has launched C&W Green Buildings; an assessment tool to enable real estate owners and investors worldwide to reduce carbon emissions<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re proud to have been working alongside Cushman & Wakefield for many years and more recently on this project. Together we\u2019ve been able to analyse over a million assets from all over the globe to calculate the cost of decarbonizing all real estate in the world and how to best approach this. We are looking forward to continue helping their clients with energy-efficiency insights through our Tools and data consultancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Michael Boonshoft – 11\/18\/2022<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n LONDON \u2013 November 18, 2022<\/strong> \u2013 Commercial real estate services leader Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK) has defined the global business case for net-zero buildings, finding that retrofitting existing property to be energy efficient can help reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on estimations that approximately 80% of the buildings that will exist in 2050 already have been built1<\/sup>, Cushman & Wakefield\u2019s research \u2013 which analyzed one million assets that totaled 6.6 billion square meters across 143 countries \u2013 shows that the reduction of carbon emissions is a vital component to preventing irreversible climate change. The firm\u2019s analysis shows the cost to decarbonize the global real estate market to be approximately $18 trillion. Addressing decarbonization would see the commercial real estate industry achieve 6.2 gigatons, or 75%, of carbon reduction annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot only is decarbonizing existing real estate essential to addressing climate impact, but it also offers an environmentally responsible way to reduce the cost of owning and managing commercial property,\u201d said John Forrester<\/a>, CEO, Cushman & Wakefield. \u201cAs building regulations for energy consumption and emissions rightly become more stringent, needs to reduce or offset carbon emissions will increase. Cushman & Wakefield aims to empower our clients to increase energy efficiency with economic and social benefits for their investments, businesses and communities.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n To enable this essential change, Cushman & Wakefield has launched C&W Green Buildings<\/strong>, a proprietary digital software assessment tool that identifies custom decarbonization, retrofitting and cost savings opportunities for real estate investors and owners. Created through an exclusive partnership with CFP Green Buildings (CFP), a consultancy with a mission of making buildings and homes more sustainable, the tool offers Cushman & Wakefield clients a fast, cost-effective, accurate and auditable way to estimate energy consumption and create a roadmap to greener real estate assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
