Sustainable value and climate change risk survey

Over the past decade the question of whether sustainability features, initiatives and green buildings have had a value premium has been a topic of great debate.

Whilst studies have indicated both ways with regards to a premium being evident or not, the market has matured in the understanding of sustainability and its role in the built environment. 

Sustainability is only one challenge for the built environment; in the years to come, risks associated with climate change and its implications will have a substantial impact on property, property investment and property markets. This survey seeks to gain greater understanding of the perception of property professionals actively working in the commercial property market and their views on risk, value, sustainability and climate change. Valuers and property professionals from all areas are encouraged to respond to the survey in order to develop a greater understanding of our current market’s perspective on climate change risk and sustainability and value. 

Please take the time to fill out the survey (5-10 minutes).

Results will be published in late 2016. Lead researcher Dr. Georgia Warren-Myers of the University of Melbourne can be contacted via  [email protected] or on 8344 4325.
