OWNER:
Cousins Properties Incorporated
MANAGEMENT:
Constance Hodges, Cousins Properties Inc.
All buildings must be a single-use facility at least 50% occupied by the corporate entity—includes government agencies and private enterprises. Some interesting points about Promenade include: Cutting edge energy and water management hardware and software like AIM (Analytics Information Manager), GOBY, Aquicore, Chiller Check, and tekWorx allow our team to optimize equipment and run times to decrease energy consumption. These programs in addition to spending approximately $1M to upgrade building standard lighting to LEDs in the parking garage, common areas, back of house, and customer spaces have enabled Promenade to increase its Energy Star score by over 6 points in the last year. As a result of our energy conservation efforts, Promenade’s energy consumption within the last 9 months has decreased over 592,000 kWh, resulting in a savings of over $35,000 for our tenants and Cousins. Cousins is currently modernizing Promenade’s 22 elevators to the newest generation destination dispatch technology. This upgrade is not only improving interior cab appearances, but also improving functionality, time efficiency, security, and convenience for our tenants. Energy savings from our elevator modernization are estimated to exceed $35,600 per year. Promenade earned its second BOMA 360 Award in 2017, its 5th Energy Star Certification in 2019, its 7th Atlanta Better Buildings Competition Top Performer Award in Energy and Water conservation in 2019, and received GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmarking) Green Star ranking among pier continued on page 8

IMAGE AND BRANDING
By: Molly Looman
PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL BRANDING FOR BUILDING ENGINEERS Building engineers are part of a team. They may even wear their company’s logo to work every day. With as tenant-facing as the position is, it is important for building engineers to represent their company’s brand well, but also develop their own image that can both aid their current position and aid them in their future professional pursuits.
WHAT DOES BRANDING EVEN MEAN?
Paul Petricca from Torque consulting said that having a winning image is about being perceived positively and uniquely. For a building engineer, this may mean differentiating yourself to tenants or using your position to differentiate your business and define its values to the tenant. “Having a personal brand is similar to having a winning image,” Petricca said. “By definition, in order to actually have a personal brand, a person needs to be doing something uniquely different.” Much of achieving an effective brand is outward facing and requires consistency. Employees must be clear on what their company always wishes to portray and be sure to act in that vein. For a tenant or outside sources to begin to recognize a pattern or theme, it must be repeated. With building engineers

having the most tenant interaction, they have the most opportunities to exhibit the unique qualities their company brings to the table.
A VISUAL MEDIUM
Branding is also a visual medium. Maintaining a consistent outward appearance and demeanor is a big signal to other parties. People make split-second judgements as soon as you meet them, so you want to make sure your outward appearance is helping you, not hurting you. “Like it or not, the majority of people form their opinion or perception of us based primarily on how we look or present ourselves, especially immediately after meeting us,” Petricca said. “ In our society, this may seem very superficial, but research supports that what people see influences how they read the image we project.”
PERSONAL IMAGE
While complying with company branding is important, building engineers must maintain and see to their own personal image as well. Many people, Petricca said, may hold the misconception that a building engineer must be outgoing in order to share their unique qualities. This is not true. Establishing a personal brand is about actions and consistency. If a building engineer is outgoing, take advantage of that and show that to tenants as your unique style. However, if a building engineer is not outgoing, they should look to find the skills and qualities that separate them from other building engineers and show those to tenants.
A BRAND IS UNIQUE
Building a brand is not a “one size fits all” process, but it is an essential one to building and maintaining business, relating to tenants and growing professionally. At the minimum, building engineers and all staff members should avoid hurting the brand. Breaking established trust can mean losing business or causing an existing relationship to suffer.
“It is readily apparent to fellow employees, service providers and customers when someone is not acting in concert with the company they represent,” Petricca said. Being a part of a company’s brand is not being a cog in a machine. It is internalizing values and presenting them in a unique, personal way. Building engineers that work to achieve a personal brand will set themselves up for growth within their company and recognition outside of the company as they continue their career journey. With a tenant-facing role, building engineers should take full advantage of their ability to show the right image to their tenants.

The Great Atlanta Bo
AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR What kind of Businesses to Expect
Sure, we didn’t get Amazon, but we still have plenty of other Fortune 500 companies who were more than happy to put down roots here. Georgia was ranked #9 on the list of top ten states to move to for a job, but don’t start clearing ground for your office building yet, the types of jobs to look out for might surprise you.
1. Tech Jobs We really have the Georgia Tech Research Institute to thank for the beginning of the tech boom here in Atlanta. Since their founding, we have become 7th in the nation for tech companies, and the 3rd for U.S. startups.
2. Film Production In previous years, Georgia has surpassed Hollywood in film and TV production. Just to give you an idea of how largely this affects our state, in 2017, Georgia filmmaking had an economic impact of $9.5 Billion.

What kind of Real Estate to expect
The employees these two industries bring to Georgia are young, lively professionals who are looking for the work life balance they weren’t finding in other large cities. So, because most of these tech jobs have the capacity for it, they will be looking to work remotely. Hopefully, this will keep an increase in traffic to a minimum as we grow our population. (One can dream right?) But the trouble is, remote work is also lonely work, which is why we have also seen and will continue to see an increase in the need for Workshare spaces. Because film crews can now afford to shoot on location in Georgia as opposed to a studio on a lot, crew members will be residing in the area of filming for months on end. Which means that even rental properties with a 6 month lease might still be too long for them. They will need affordable month-to-month options to keep the costs of the productions down as well as local community amenities for the crew members who are on the road for most of the year.
Atlanta was recently ranked 8th in the nation as one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., with an average of 36 new Georgia residents each day. Now while these numbers can seem a bit staggering, we’re wading through the murky waters to tell you what you can expect, and what our peaches should start preparing for.

In a word: people. In 2017, the Atlanta metro had the 3rd highest population gain, (Right behind Dallas and Houston) and the amount of people living in Atlanta is projected to almost double by 2050. Building a decent infrastructure and extending the MARTA are key strategies in preventing gridlock later down the road. While all the surrounding counties of Atlanta have grown more than 10% since the Great Recession, Forsyth Country continues to be the leader as the fastest growing in Georgia. Major cities such as Toccoa, Carrollton, Ronne, Augusta, Statesboro, Hinesville and Columbus have all invested in revitalizing their downtown areas in anticipation to attract young professionals. Plus, there has already been an uptick in wineries and breweries in North Georgia over the past few years and you can expect to see more. What an exciting time to live in Georgia and to be a part of the great Atlanta boom! For more updates and tips on how to stay ahead of the trend, please visit our webpage for more.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
EARNING THE SMT
ENHANCED MY BUILDING’S VALUE By: Molly Looman
A building is only as valuable as the sum of its parts. By that logic, a building’s systems are only as good as their engineer. A Systems Maintenance Technician designation is more than a course. It can add real value to the career of a budding building engineer, but it can also add value to their buildings. Here is how the SMT can rake in big ROI.
MAKES GOOD ENGINEERS GREAT
Mark Gallman with Highwoods Properties was a good machinist when he entered the field of CRE. He had worked for American Standard, Lockheed and Amoco. When he began his second career at 43, he knew he needed more to succeed. “I knew a little about basic construction, but I lacked the key skills that a building engineer needed,” Gallman said. “Electrical work and HVAC were not what I would have called my strong suits. I knew that to get to a point where I could make a sustainable income and support a family, that I would need to be able to work at a high level in these specific skill sets.” The SMT course took the highly technical skills Gallman already had as a machinist and used them as a base to give him a greater understanding of HVAC, thus making him a more capable maintenance engineer. An SMT can take experienced engineers in your building and give them a more well-rounded toolbelt.

FILLS THE GAP
Dan Kelsey, director of engineering at SK Commercial Reality, wanted to know everything when first beginning his journey to becoming a building engineer. The tech schools around him weren’t teaching the skills on how to run an office building, so he turned to the BOMI SMT course. After completing his designation, Kelsey found himself bringing a better self to work every day. “Because when you want to provide a safe, clean, energy efficient working environment for your tenants and their customers while maximizing the owner’s investment,” Kelsey said. “You must be the best you can be every day.” Gallman had a similar experience. The SMT course filled the gap between the skills he already had and the knowledge he needed before becoming a building engineer. The BOMI SMT course can give engineers the education that may not be available around them and therefore make them better to have on your team.
CREATING A MULTITOOL LEADS TO MAJOR ROI
Gallman’s first employer believed in the value of educating their engineers, so they paid for his SMT course. While this is a monetary investment, the benefits much outweigh the cost. Creating well-educated employees fosters loyalty and means you have the best people working for you. Kelsey felt that after his SMT training course, he was more valuable to his company. He learned about topics that he had never considered and became a more well-versed engineer. “Elevators moving at 350’ or 500’ per minute. A dripping water faucet at one drip per second equals 450 gallons a year! Getting into light bulbs, colors, brightness, air conditioning filters and efficiency, really technical stuff,” Kelsey said. “The list goes on and on and it made me realize the more educated I became, the more the company benefitted from having me there.” BOMA Georgia will offers Electrical Systems and Illuminations from June 2 to July 7. As well as Boilers, Heating Systems & Applied Mathematics from November 11 to December 15. Visit BOMAGeorgia.org to register.

TRENDS
ART as an Amenity By: Lauren Townsend
Public art adds enormous value to the cultural, aesthetic and economic vitality of a community. It is now a well-accepted principle of urban design that public art contributes to a community’s identity, fosters community pride and a sense of belonging, and enhances the quality of life for its residents and visitors. The amenities arms race often focuses on what a tenant uses within a building — fitness centers, tenant lounges and loaded technology packages. But one amenity is often overlooked even as people interact with it daily. “For newer trophy assets, art can make a statement that aligns the asset with the high-profile tenancy it aims to attract.” When businesses invest in outdoor or indoor public art, pedestrian and auto traffic tends to increase. Interested passersby might stop in just to take a look and a selfie with a piece that they find interesting, then stick around to make a purchase or inquire what businesses a building holds. Tenants

obviously love more foot and auto traffic, so public art can translate into more value in leases for landlords and tenants looking for new space might see public art as an opportunity to tap into some foot traffic that comes from gawking onlookers. While murals usually carry no measurable monetary value because people usually won’t pay a premium to view art outside a building, the beneficial draw for landlords is the probable spike in traffic from the local community. CBRE Vice President Cody Hundertmark said the value public art adds to an asset cannot be measured with dollars and cents. Art enhances a building’s buzz.
The City of Atlanta has an Office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Program that works with artists and issues both temporary and permanent permits. They also oversee an app that offers self-guided tours using a cell phone. Within Georgia, the embrace of public art has been very polarizing. The Dunwoody City Council considered a proposed ordinance “that would essentially define public art as black copy against a white background to imitate the Spruill Center for Arts.’ When this felt too restrictive, the council went back to the drawing board as crafting a mural ordinance. “There are some studies that suggest that as you continue to evolve your vibrant community through art and other cultural opportunities that that also drives community culture and eventually economic development,” said Director of Recreation and Parks Jeff Leatherman. Roswell has initiated a temporary art program in place but long-term building art requires more involvement from the city. A proposal is required as is a maintenance plan.
Mural art or outdoor art is an excellent way to add interest to a new property or revamp the image or use of an existing property.

NAFA AIR FILTRATION BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINES By: Michelle Czosek The National Air Filtration Association (NAFA) is a non-profit trade association, who’s members include indoor air quality professionals from air filter and component manufacturers, sales and service, and HVAC companies. NAFA’s mission is “To be The Global Source for Expertise, Education & Best Practices in Air Filtration.” To that end, NAFA holds educational events, publishes several books including the NAFA Guide to Air Filtration as well as a magazine, Air Media. NAFA maintains the Certified Air Filter Specialist and NAFA Certified Technician I & II programs for individuals to educate and elevate themselves in the profession and NAFA develops and maintains best practice guidelines.
The NAFA Best Practice Guidelines were developed to help supplement existing information on the control and cleaning of air through proper filtration. Many organizations recommend “minimum” air cleaning levels. NAFA publishes best practices based on the experience and expertise of its membership along with information and research from the governmental, medical, and scientific communities showing the short- and long-term impact particulate and molecular contaminants have on human health and productivity. NAFA Guidelines recommend and incorporate the “highest level of air filtration standards” for specific applications. NAFA currently offer guidelines to cover the following indoor air environments: continued on page 26

Climate Change and How it Might Affect CRE in the Future By: Molly Looman
While often a political hot-button, climate change has the potential for massive effects on the commercial real estate industry. The past couple of years have seen rising sea levels, larger storms and and increased emphasis on lowering the carbon footprint of commercial areas. Governments are beginning to create policies that will affect both developers and owners. To prepare yourself for possible issues, let’s look at a few of the major issues concerning climate change and how they might affect our industry.
Extreme Weather According to a report from the Union of Concerned Scientists, approximately 14,000 coastal commercial properties are at risk of inundation by 2045. The same report predicts sea levels rising 1.6 feet in a best-case scenario. Rising sea levels and increased danger of hurricanes has made coastal properties even more at risk. Ocean-related weather is not the only risk. River-flooding has become more common. According to the National Climate Assessment, heavy rain events have increased 37 percent since the 1950s. Just this year, federal officials warned 25 states that they could see a flood risk in May. All of this is not to scare anyone from owning a property or leasing one, it is information to keep in mind in the future. Developments should consider extreme weather possibilities in their construction and location scouting. Risk assessment and insurance systems are also changing with the recent weather. FEMA is releasing a new risk rating system that includes updated flood plain maps. This may be something to pay attention to if your area is at risk. Property resiliency might also be a major consideration moving forward, as people demand buildings that will last longer and efficiently.
Climate Change-Based Laws Climate change has been a major topic on both a state and federal level for decades. Recently, tighter regulations have been imposed to accelerate progress in certain areas. For example, New Yorks’s Climate Mobilization Act “requires that buildings exceeding 25,000 gross square feet reduce their greenhouse gas footprint starting in 2022 and each year thereafter so as to meet an established sliding scale of emission limits.”

Closer to home, Atlanta’s “Resilient Atlanta” strategy aims to hit a 100% clean energy target and impose city-wide housing resilience standards. Many of these propositions are cropping up across the country, which means CRE professionals need to prepare for impending code changes, energy restrictions and new standards for air, water and lighting.
Investment Shifts As stated above, coastal properties are at the most danger for flooding, rising sea levels and extreme weather. This is not new, but the increased predicted risk may mean less investment in the coastal areas. Building restrictions in coastal towns are likely to get stricter, so an overall decrease in construction may be seen in the future. Overpopulation is also an environmental concern. With almost 200,000 people entering the country a month between births, deaths and immigration, cities are going to have to make conscientious choices with how they handle the new influx. Smog levels are up and rampant urbanization may be curtailed by city regulations. Commercial real estate professionals are going to need to make future-thinking decisions about what and where to build based on the environmental effects of new construction.
Environmental Building Considerations With Gen Z and millennial generations reaching the age of being major economic deciders, CRE professionals need to consider their needs and interests moving forward. Both generations are generally more environmentally concerned. This means they will be attracted to properties with health amenities, energy efficient water and lighting, and lower carbon footprints. Businesses and possible tenants are beginning to take these factors in as well, adapting their office lifestyle to the needs of millennials and Gen Z. These generations want to actively reduce the effects of climate change meaning they aim to drive less, produce less waste and use sustainable products. CRE professionals both on the development and leasing side need to consider these trends in order to stay competitive in the market. While we don’t know exactly what the future of our climate looks like and the effects it may have, it is important to stay informed and researched in order to properly prepare for any surprises, legislative changes and market trends. Getting caught off guard may lead to more extensive and expensive fixes than preparation would.
