Overview:

Green, or high performance have become a target norm for almost any sizeable capital for most “world class” business enterprises.  The reasons for this focus can vary from broad based concerns about the ‘public persona’, or PR to a more laser like focus on bottom line ( $$ & ¢) savings direct to the balance sheet.  However, it is sometimes difficult to translate what a new “bricks and mortar” office building or plant really means to overall corporate value and sustainability.  Energy and resource savings can be reported cleanly on the bottom line, but there are other impacts which may not be readily captured and recorded.  Properly assessing and capturing the impacts of green buildings in procurement, execution and operations on enterprise-wide sustainability metrics is essential to successfully measuring and monitoring a program’s real performance and value. This program will identify multiple impacts of green buildings on overall sustainability and how those impacts relate to key performance indicators as part of an overall enterprise sustainability program.
