Description This two-day course introduces participants to a broad range of valuation problems encountered when appraising green commercial buildings, conventional buildings with green features, and conventional buildings in today’s markets that are increasingly influenced by sustainability and green building. Based on Appraisal Institute publication The Valuation of Green Commercial Real Estate, the course presents real-world case study examples from a variety of property types to help participants learn and apply credible valuation techniques for analyzing and reporting the degree to which green building and sustainability affect property value. 

 

As they apply the three approaches to value, participants will develop valuable insight and hands-on experience developing cost and income-based adjustments when sales data is lacking, identifying and analyzing rent and marketability premiums, evaluating operating cost impacts, and assessing risk effects. In addition, participants will learn how green building and sustainability affect scope of work development and highest and best use analysis for both green and conventional properties. The course also familiarizes participants with emerging topics such as net zero energy, distributed generation, wellness-based design, and resilience.
