How can we measure the impact of sustainable real estate investments?

There are several ways to measure the impact of sustainable real estate investments:

•Environmental impact metrics: Things like energy usage, water consumption, waste reduction, pollution levels, etc. By tracking these metrics over time, you can quantify the environmental impact of sustainable improvements and investments.

•Social impact metrics: Metrics like tenant satisfaction, community engagement, affordable housing units created, local jobs supported, etc. These help measure the social impact of real estate projects.

•Financial impact metrics: Sustainable real estate investments can also have a positive financial impact, which can be measured by things like operating cost savings, increased property values, higher rental premiums, lower cap rates, etc.

•Certifications and ratings: Achieving recognized sustainability certifications like LEED, Energy Star, WELL Building Standard, etc. These third-party certifications provide an objective measure of a building’s sustainability and impact.

•Benchmarks and indices: Comparing the performance of a sustainable real estate investment to industry benchmarks and ESG indices. Outperforming these benchmarks demonstrates a measurable impact.

• lifecycle assessments: Conducting lifecycle assessments to quantify the environmental footprint of a real estate development and tracking improvements over the building’s lifecycle.

•Impact reporting: Publishing annual impact reports that document a sustainable real estate investment’s progress against key impact metrics and goals. These comprehensive reports provide transparency for stakeholders.

•SDG alignment: Determining which UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) a real estate investment contributes to, and measuring progress in supporting and advancing those SDGs.

•Resilience metrics: For properties with a sustainability or ESG mandate, measuring key resilience indicators like hazard risk mitigation, energy resilience, water security, etc. Improved resilience represents a measurable impact.
