Real Estate
Maximize ROI across your portfolio
Buildings that are LEED or ENERGY STAR certified are known to generate a higher sales price per square foot. In addition, the extra costs of going green can be as low as 3 percent. Green buildings command higher rent, result in higher occupancy rate, reduce utility bills, ensure better health for tenants, and provide a relative increase in broker commissions. Add in tax incentives, rebates or other financial programs, and the business case is a clear one.
FirstCarbon Solutions helps real estate developers and investors establish LEED certification by managing all of your properties’ and buildings’ environmental, sustainability, and energy performance data. And by providing REITS portfolio analysis, we seamlessly identify your business and compliance risks.
Consulting, Software, and Data Processing for Every Phase of the Process
FirstCarbon Solutions can help you at every phase of the process, with real estate-specific consulting, software, and data processing services to manage the energy performance data of a property and ease the burden of LEED certification. Our assessment also provides REITS portfolio analyses that identify hidden risks and unknown value in holdings and identifies compliance risks from emerging environmental regulations, such as new state and federal energy-efficiency laws.
