Good property management should be about providing an excellent level of service, but sometimes the services offered have to be cut according to the budget available. If you run a property whereby costs are recharged to the tenants, your occupiers will not thank you for spending more of their money unnecessarily and worse still under many leases a landlord may not even be able to recover certain expenditure if it relates to items of improvement. So how can changes be brought about that will ultimately reduce energy use in a building complex or office building, and therefore bring cost reductions to the utility accounts, particularly if a capital expenditure is required to alter a property. With continuing changes to regulations governing energy use and sustainability in buildings, both owners and occupiers should expect increasing focus on green real estate management, but how do you know if your property is being managed with green, sustainable considerations in mind? There are two factors to consider, firstly does the property management company have an up to date and relevant Sustainability Policy and have they developed an individual Sustainability Policy for your building? |
