2010 Climate Change, Land Use & Energy Annual Report, Urban Land Institute
Climate Change, Land Use, and Energy 2010: New Tools. New Rules.
This report explores an issue that has risen to become one of the most immediate challenges for sustainable development: investing in energy efficiency improvements in existing real estate. New regulations and finance tools are emerging which seek to capture value associated with energy efficiency in commercial buildings. This report includes stories from the “retrofitting” trenches, prevailing attitudes, and case studies that provide a benchmark for how energy efficiency is valued in real estate transactions today. Emerging energy and climate change policies are identified at all levels of government which taken together are forming a new backdrop for real estate investment. Read the press release.
EDITORIAL REVIEW
The Carbon Efficient City, AP Hurd, Al Hurd
There has been much written on the vision for carbon efficient cities, neighborhoods, new buildings, upgraded buildings, bicycle networks and transit systems (to name a few), but remarkably little about how we can change our frameworks so that all of these approaches can thrive and have a meaningful impact. The Carbon Efficient Cityfocuses on how we get there. It is very deliberately not just about one of the things we need to do. It's about creating an economic and regulatory environment in which the DNA of sustainable buildings and cities can be successfully expressed. It's about all the signposts we need to re-align, and about changing the path of least resistance to what we really need it to be. It is a thorough revisiting of how our institutions are leading us astray and it is suggests a set of tools to help us fix them.
