Universal green building standards--needed but possible?
Wisconsin Real Estate MBAs report from MIPIM 2010:
15:45 - 16:45 Panel: Sustainability "Sans Frontiéres" - Achieving Equally Green Buildings around the World
There is a need for a universal green building standard, yet key issues are preventing its development. Among the problems facing the standard are: carbon ownership (does it belong to building owner or tenant?), public transparency regarding energy efficiency, and the difficulties of placing value on the sustainability of a building. All of which depend on metrics—using the wrong metric to measure this concept, and it may ultimately render the sustainability concept worthless.
