Why Value is ImportantWhy Value is Important
Money makes the world go round…Shareholders/investors require financial audit
No money, no project
Value includes "public good"Parks, views & open space, walkways, amenities add value
If environmental imperatives are demanded it will happen
Value is becoming Triple Bottom Line drivenThe most important bottom line is…?
Impact of financial standards

Null Hypothesis:
"There is no relationship between the market value of a real estate asset and its green features and related performance."
Purpose:Analytical neutrality
Lack of data

Value: Not Always UnderstoodValue: Not Always Understood
Example 1: USGBC
"Using the income-capitalization method: asset value = net operating income (NOI) divided by the capitalization rate (return). If the cap rate is 7%,divide the reduction in annual operating costs by 7% to calculate the increase in the building's asset value"
But: This is almost never trueNobody pays the benefit in perpetuity!
Requires gross lease
Gross leases can increase energy consumption
Net leases separate capital investment from the benefit

Value: Not Always UnderstoodValue: Not Always Understood
Example 2: Institute for Market Transformation
"According to the National Research Council, 60 to 85 percent of a building’s real costs are related to operations; the initial construction cost is 10 percent or less.
As the largest single operating expense in typical commercial buildings, energy costs are typically an important factor in building value."
Is your energy bill really larger than rent or mortgage?
Example shows less than one year's energy savings paid by the buyer
Contradicts USGBC

The Green Business CaseThe Green Business Case
"A study by Sheffield University for NHS Estates compared patient outcomes in a newly refurbished orthopaedic unit at Poole hospital with those in a 1960s conventional ward.
The study found that patients treated on the refurbished ward required less analgesic medication than those on the older ward. Patients not undergoing operations were discharged significantly more quickly from the newer ward – after 6.4 days compared with 8.1 days."

There is a relationship between the market value of a real estate asset, its green features and related performance.
Contradiction, myth & fact proliferateValue assertions from unqualified sources are unhelpful, foster distrust

Green Value BarriersGreen Value Barriers
"Costs more to build green"
Occupant awareness & education
Knowledge, research and resources not widespread
What Green means is not widely understood
Steep learning curve
Construction companies lack experience
Perception of risk amongst developers, lenders
Not seen as a business benefit & paradigm shift
Shortage of professionals with suitable experience
Incentives questionable
Savings/benefits unlinked from the investor/landlord
Leases don’t take account of green issues
Insufficient understanding of value & appraisal
Outdated regulations
asset strategics27
Green Value Recommendations:Green Value Recommendations:Impact on ValueImpact on Value
21 recommendations including…Strengthen the Third Bottom Line: Economics. It is more than just cost savings
Review how financial aspects can be enhanced, evaluated & communicated
Collect better evidence, make it widely available and target communicating the advantages in financial terms to the public and businesses
Involve lenders, appraisers, realtors & developers more cohesively. Use value in Integrated Design prior to audit
Improve and integrate green rating systems/standards, with improved accounting and valuation standards
Reconsider priorities for communicating Green Value

Valuation MethodologiesValuation Methodologies
Main approaches:Direct Comparison Approach: Difficult or impossible to properly adjust
Income Approach: Most suitable but difficult to use
Cost Approach: Potentially harmful to correct life cycle valuation
Alternate Approaches: Triple Bottom Line, Full Cost Accounting, etc.
Standards:IVS, USPAP, CUSPAP, Red Book etc.
• Not being used properly
Accounting standards problems• "Special Purpose Asset" problematic• Cost approaches problematic• 2010: IFRS change to market value
