Case Studies in Appraising Green Commercial Buildings
|
|
|
As government mandates filter down to local communities and buyers, sellers, developers, and financiers of real estate assess the importance of energy efficiency and sustainability, appraisers need to become familiar with the concepts surrounding green building (which will affect such factors as the cost to build, income and expenses, and ultimately/potentially the bottom line). The appraisal of a green commercial project offers a challenge to appraisers because this type of construction and development is new to many markets. Green projects additionally draw a new investor and tenant type with knowledge about the benefits of sustainability. Current valuation methods have the capacity to address the issues associated with green buildings. Appraisers simply need to understand more about what makes these properties different to effectively apply, incorporate, and evolve appraisal methodology in the development of an effective, rational, and well-supported appraisal report and value opinion.
The course begins with a brief review of green principles and concepts,
then focuses on in-depth commercial case studies that explore techniques
for valuation. Real-world examples provide excellent brainstorming, scope setting, and problem solving. Each of the approaches to value are visited, along with a narrative outline for describing the typical commercial green property. This course will help participants increase their knowledge of green buildings and facilitate the development of credible valuation techniques for use in this emerging property type. Additionally, resources that aid in documenting the appraisal process are provided.
