CASE STUDIES
WHY GO GREEN?
BUSINESS CASE FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN Client: FortisBC | Location: Across British Columbia SERVICES:
OUTCOMES:
> MHPM Project Managers (a Colliers’ Canada company) managed the development of the business case for a Portfolio Energy Management Program (Phase I), for 36 buildings covering nearly 500,000 square feet of office and warehouse space.
> Identified energy information management system opportunities to manage utility data and establish baselines. > Determined building energy use index (BEPI) to identify priority energy efficiency initiatives to save up to 20% in energy costs.
Surveys show that tenants rank comfortable air temperature and indoor air quality as the most important tenant comfort feature. OCCUPANT SATISFACTION > Green buildings enhance brand perception for tenants and owners alike > Green buildings provide a comfortable and productive working environment • Air temperature and indoor air quality are the number one reason tenants move out RETURN ON INVESTMENT > Green buildings are increasingly in demand from sophisticated tenants, resulting in higher revenues attributed to: • Up to 5% higher occupancy rate than traditional space • 2 to 10% increase in productivity, leading to salary savings (salaries represent over 50% of business costs) • Decreased employee turnover > Operational savings of 5 to 30% resulting from reduced energy use
ENERGY RETROFITS Client: BMO Financial Group | Location: Canada wide SERVICES:
OUTCOMES:
> BMO Financial Group has a corporate mandate to drive energy efficiency and GHG emissions reduction enterprisewide. Colliers analyzed, planned and prioritized a program of energy retrofits of over 90 retail branches (540,000 SF), in less than a year.
