How Green Globes Helps Property Managers

Property managers face endless demands. In addition to daily operations, there are pressures to reduce energy and operating costs, meet legislative requirements and improve indoor environments. These issues are complex and are typically handled in a costly, piecemeal fashion. Green Globes allows you to do a quick, comprehensive assessment of your building that integrates all these issues, with a view to optimizing performance and costs.

Green Globes helps you to:

Benchmark your building's performance and compare it to others
The report provides a comprehensive assessment. It benchmarks performance, highlights strengths and identifies opportunities for improvement. Once it has been verified by a third party, quintile scores provide comparisons with other buildings.

Find out where and how much you can save
The report indicates potential savings for energy and water. For example, in addition to energy savings from capital improvements, up to 10% in savings can be achieved through management measures alone.

Ensure due diligence
Green Globes includes a module on emissions, effluents, hazardous materials, storage tanks and WHMIS.

Improve workplace productivity and comfort
Green Globes covers indoor environment issues such as indoor air quality (IAQ), lighting and noise.

Generate an action plan
The report suggests ways to improve the building. This, along with the data on its performance and potential savings will help you develop an action plan and decide where to focus your resources.

Get on-going environmental training
On the job training is made possible with direct links from your report to additional sources of information to improve your building and its operations.

Monitor improvement
You can update your report to reflect improvements as you make them.

Market your strengths
"Achievement Highlights" indicate areas of superior performance of the building and its management. Use them as a basis to develop a BOMA Earth Awards submission!
