Dallas 2030 District’s Post

The next few years present a unique opportunity for building owners to leverage the net zero transition and create economic value. JLL's analysis of 46,600 buildings highlights that 65% of office and 75% of multifamily buildings risk becoming obsolete by 2030 without improvements in energy performance. By focusing on energy efficiency, electrification, and clean energy, owners can not only meet growing occupier demand for low-carbon spaces but also unlock up to 40% in energy savings, translating to billions in operational cost reductions. Now is the time to act—position your assets for long-term success by embracing these strategies. Read the full report: https://hubs.la/Q02QNqV20 #NetZero #Sustainability #RealEstate #LowCarbon #ESG

Low carbon buildings create economic value The next few years present a unique opportunity for building owners and occupiers to leverage the net zero transition to drive economic value. The opportunity is now. With occupiers increasingly looking to lease space aligned with their own corporate emissions targets, there is a ripe opportunity for owners and investors to act now to close the supply gap for low-carbon space. Three action areas to focus on. Successfully decarbonizing buildings depends on targeting three key elements: energy efficiency, electrification and clean energy sources. Creating economic value. The capex invested in addressing these three action areas results in lower operational costs, secure energy, regulatory resilience and improved employee attraction.

Low-carbon buildings are good for the planet and great for business. A recent JLL report highlighted in this article shows how sustainable buildings can increase economic value by boosting energy efficiency, attracting tenants, and meeting growing environmental regulations. As we move toward a greener future, investing in low-carbon strategies isn’t just about compliance, it's about creating long-term value. Let me know in the comments below if your organisation is incorporating sustainability into its real estate decisions. #Sustainability #LowCarbon #GreenBuilding #EconomicValue #FutureOfWork

“Investing in innovation is fundamental to meeting global emissions targets – no more so than in the built environment.” Retrofitting existing buildings is one of the most effective ways to cut the UK’s carbon emissions. With 80% of today’s buildings still in use by 2050, simply building new, energy-efficient structures won’t meet net-zero targets. Beyond cutting emissions, retrofitting improves ventilation, reduces dampness, and directly impacts the well-being of residents. However, the key to scaling these efforts lies in better collaboration and using data-driven insights to ensure environmental and social improvements are fully realised. What’s exciting about retrofitting at scale is the potential for wide-reaching impacts across different sectors. It improves public health, cuts down on future healthcare costs, and creates homes that are truly fit for the future. The challenge is to bring together the private sector, government, and communities to drive investment and innovation. With the right approach, retrofitting can transform the housing stock and how we think about sustainability in the built environment. A great read on The Engineer UK!

With rising CO2 levels, innovative solutions are needed. Soletair Power's vision is to revolutionize the net zero building ecosystem by installing our Ventilation Integrated Direct Air Capture (VIDAC) systems across the globe, by making buildings remove a substantial portion of greenhouse gas CO2 from the sky. JLL, a leading professional services firm that specializes in real estate and investment management, recommends that investors and corporate occupiers future-proof their real estate, since: ✅ Tenants are now prioritizing buildings that are energy efficient, free from onsite fossil fuels, and powered by clean energy. ✅ For construction projects, occupiers are beginning to focus on lower embodied carbon designs. ✅ Corporate occupiers are looking for leases that allow them to show material progress on sustainability goals. This shift translates to an urgency and opportunity for real estate investors to seriously consider buildings' carbon performance. With our cost-effective, easy-to-deploy, and economically viable CO2-capturing systems, Soletair Power's environmentally responsible customers will be able to play a key role in the global deployment of decarbonization technologies at scale.

Not Just Another Brick in The Wall ➠ https://lnkd.in/dmBMGugx Future buildings will be structures that minimize their environmental impact and enhance the health and well-being of their occupants. They will use less energy, water, and materials, and produce less waste and greenhouse gas emissions than conventional buildings. They will also provide better indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and natural lighting. With their embedded efficiencies, sustainable buildings will lower utility bills, increase property value, and reduce maintenance costs. The drive towards efficiency in the building sector has the potential to create new jobs and stimulate economic growth, as these require more skilled labor and innovation than conventional buildings and offer interesting long-term opportunities for investors.

“Improving a building’s energy efficiency is the quickest way to reduce opex and cut emissions – and a critical first step in the wider energy transition” Excellent article from JLL presenting the global business case for energy efficiency applicable to both new and #deepenergyretrofit of exisiting buildings. It would be great to see the Building Commission NSW and the Australian Construction industry in general recognise the role that energy efficiency of our buildings in housing affordability, grid transition and meeting net zero. It also can play a massive role in addressing defects, by creating market value in building better than minimum code and the mould and condensation issues that are present with the majority of new buildings built today.

Energy-efficient buildings play a significant role in decarbonizing our planet; however, adoption rates in the U.S. remain low, despite readily available solutions and subsidies.  In this article featured in Forbes Business Council, I discuss the opportunities for transforming the #BuiltEnvironment through building retrofits, and the benefits of bundling customizable solutions to help building owners and operators begin their #EnergyEfficiency journey.  Read the full article for a comprehensive view of decarbonizing the built environment, to the benefit of the planet, businesses, and building occupants. #WeAreLegence #SustainableBuildings #EnergyTransition

The real estate sector is undergoing a significant transformation driven by heightened environmental regulations that mandate businesses to prioritize sustainability. These policies, aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting greener practices, bring both challenges and opportunities for property owners and developers. #ShortTermChallenge include the financial burden of compliance, with costly investments needed to upgrade properties to meet energy efficiency standards. For instance, installing energy-efficient HVAC systems, using sustainable construction materials, and optimizing buildings for natural light can be expensive. Retrofitting older buildings to improve eco-friendliness presents even greater financial hurdles. However, #LongTermOpportunities arise as these investments can reduce operational expenses, like lower utility costs, and unlock government incentives or tax breaks. With growing consumer awareness of environmental issues, green buildings are increasingly attractive, boosting property value and marketability. Real estate businesses embracing #Sustainability and eco-friendly practices gain a competitive edge, as they appeal to high-quality tenants and ensure greater long-term returns. #GreenBuildingPractices focus on using eco-friendly materials, waste reduction, and renewable energy sources. Certifications such as #LEED provide frameworks for achieving sustainability standards. Integrating #SmartTechnology, like automated lighting and energy management systems, further enhances efficiency. Governments are introducing #RegulatoryTrends to promote carbon neutrality and energy performance, with cities requiring energy disclosures or emissions compliance. Real estate businesses must remain proactive, monitoring evolving regulations and investing in green technology. Embracing sustainability isn’t just about compliance but a #StrategicMove that fosters environmental stewardship, future-proofs investments, and meets the growing demand for eco-friendly properties. #usa #realestate #unitedstate #realestatebusiness #business #economy #opportunities
