From Nice to Have to Must Have

"Occupiers are indicating that they are prepared to pay more for green real estate and that it is important for their organizations to occupy sustainable buildings...Occupiers will pay more for sustainable real estate solutions and where possible avoid non-sustainable real estate solutions."

--Jones Lang LaSalle--Corporate Real Estate Impact Survey

PV is the sizzle that sells green real estate--sustainability where you can see it.  Architecturally significant solutions that increase property performance.  The quoted survey reveals that 64% of respondents are prepared to pay a premium for greener real estate.  Sustainability is rapidly moving from a nice to have to a must have.

sustainable_% More than marketing--these sustainable solutions harness the latest in global technology to reduce onsite costs and increase performance.  We harvest a site's solar resource landing on marginal real estate--think parking lots, airspace over parking garages, patios and walks.

"only 18% of respondents considered current provisions of sustainable real estate good or adequate."

PV is a new way of thinking about real estate value creation--another layer in how you develop spatial solutions when renovating or developing property.  Harvesting the local solar resource, monitoring and measuring the load, load shape and the pv system's performance demonstrate the reduced carbon footprint and document sustainability efforts.

Users are prepared to pay more, but are under-supplied with sustainable building stock.
