HOW TO POWER BUILDINGS FOR NET-ZERO FUTURE

Electrification is a multi-phase investment that must be integrated into capital planning, aligned with leasing renewals, and major equipment replacement cycles, For asset managers and facilities teams, success depends on early stakeholder mapping and coordination. The building owner drives approval and financing. Asset and facilities managers work closely with tenants to minimize the operational impact. Engineers, consultants, and contractors deliver the technical pathway, while regulators, utilities, and vendors shape the external conditions, including policy, incentives, and grid readiness. Clarifying these roles early helps turn energy audits and net-zero roadmaps into actionable asset plans. Cushman & Wakefield enables clients to structure this journey, integrating technical, financial, and stakeholder inputs into a coordinated delivery plan.
