🔊How can stronger policies and taxonomies help underperforming buildings? While high-performing buildings have access to green finance and resources, the majority of existing buildings remain locked out due to a lack of capital. 📄@BRE_Group's new report with the Green Building Council of Australia, the Singapore Green Building Council, the U.S. Green Building Council and Alliance HQE - GBC calls for stronger policies and taxonomies to direct capital toward underperforming buildings. It advocates for context-specific, performance-oriented criteria, tailored to diverse building types, to make sure investment reaches all buildings. With the #builtenvironment responsible for a significant share of global emissions, unlocking investments for the underperforming majority of buildings could help us decarbonise at scale.

🔊"Bridging the gap between high-performing and underperforming buildings is essential to achieving our global #decarbonisation goals. This report underlines the importance of inclusive investment strategies that unlock capital for the majority of buildings, ensuring that no part of the #builtenvironment is left behind," said Jane Goddard, BRE's Deputy CEO. 🌏 While high-performing buildings have access to green finance and resources, most buildings remain locked out due to a lack of capital. BRE’s new report "Building Transition: How to Scale and Finance an Inclusive Transition for the Built Environment" focuses on the 75% of lower-performing buildings that have not yet adopted green building practices. Developed in partnership with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and Alliance HQE-GBC France, the new report offers key recommendations to address this challenge. It lays out how to attract capital to this large untapped segment, to ensure that decarbonisation takes place across the entire sector. This new report expands the conversation to ensure financing solutions are inclusive, enabling more building owners to access the funds needed to make significant improvements.
