Sustainability in real estate takes more than one-time improvements. To support owner goals, meet regulatory demands, and keep properties performing, real estate professionals need a practical mix of low-cost operational changes, mid-range upgrades, and long-term capital improvements.
In this webinar, attendees will learn how these strategies work together and where they can have the greatest impact. The session will also explore how the IREM Certified Sustainable Property (CSP) green building certification can support real estate managers and sustainability professionals working to strengthen sustainability efforts across their properties and portfolios.
What attendees will learn
- Why data is so critical to sustaining sustainability
- How low-cost operational measures can improve sustainability performance
- Where mid-cost upgrades can support efficiency and owner goals
- When high-cost retrofits may make sense as part of a long-term strategy
- Why sustainability should be treated as both an operational and capital planning priority
- How the IREM CSP can support these efforts
Who should attend: Real estate asset managers, property managers, and sustainable real estate professionals
Experience level: All levels
