TARGET

50% emission reduction (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2030.

GHG emission reduction goal of 50% by 2030.

Net-zero Carbon by 2040.

Net-zero by 2050.

APPROACH Cushman & Wakefield building performance team developed a building level net-zero roadmap with energy conservation and emission reduction measures. Implementation commenced in 2024. SOLUTIONS Low-cost/no-cost measures: Thermostat audit, heat pump performance testing, advanced pump control, off hour review and realtime metering. Capital investment projects: sequence of operations and commissioning, occupancy sensors for HVAC control, occupancy- and daylight-responsive lighting controls. Deeper strategies: on-site solar with battery backup. Final mile: Off-site renewables and carbon offsets close the gap, and additional improvements align with tenant renewal timelines.

APPROACH Cushman & Wakefield’s building performance team developed a building level net-zero roadmap with energy conservation and reduction measures. Implementation commenced in 2025. SOLUTIONS Low-cost/no-cost measures: Tenant engagement, lighting controls review, and replacing domestic hot water with heat pump. Capital investment projects: Expand use of LED lighting, upgrade pneumatics to direct digital controls (DDC),install carbon monoxide (CO) sensors in the garage, install additional window panels, and a fan wall. Deeper strategies: replace boilers with heat pumps, electrify kitchen equipment, install on-site solar. Final mile: Off-site solar supply and carbon offsets. EXPECTED IMPACT
