Investment into the alternative energy sector has soared over the past few years. In 2002 the volume invested globally into sustainable energy projects was approximately just US$21bn, two years later this had risen to a still modest US$35bn, but by 2008 investment had more than quadrupled.
CB Richard Ellis’ latest report, Clean Technology: Wind, Solar and Energy from Waste Investments Power Ahead, reviews the sectors recent performance and the future ahead.
The role of real estate is increasingly prominent in the wider debate on climate change. The desire to be ‘green’ or to be perceived as such is often led by a marketing agenda, but investors and developers will only invest in green practices if they make good commercial sense.
CB Richard Ellis’ latest report, Who Pays for Green? The Economics of Sustainable Buildings reviews the main measurement tools for assessing a building’s environmental credentials; assesses evidence on the production cost and rental profiles of green buildings against conventional ones; and provides some indicators of the achievable cost savings.
"The decision to give the award to CB Richard Ellis is not just because of the significant contribution that the firm has made at Crowngate but also the overall commitment and enthusiasm that CBRE has brought to the area of environmental management"
