Emailing "Green Office Backslide?"
Remember when the economy was good (relatively speaking) and green buildings seemed to be all the rage?
This year it looks like
fewer organizations are willing to pay a premium for green office space.
Despite the fact that corporate real estate executives support the idea of energy efficient and sustainable buildings, only 42 percent of those surveyed said they were willing to pay a premium to lease green space. Another 53 percent said they would pay a premium to retrofit property they own. In 2007, 77 percent of real estate executives surveyed said they were willing to pay a premium for green space.
Ouch.
