Green Building Principles: The Action Plan for Net-Zero Carbon Buildings

The Action Plan outlines a framework for transitioning real estate portfolios to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, with an interim target of reducing emissions by 50% by 2030. It is developed in collaboration with JLL and aligns with global initiatives like the Race to Zero.

Core Principles and Actions

Calculate a Robust Carbon Footprint: Measure current emissions (operational and embodied) in a representative year to set baselines.
Set Target Years: Aim for net-zero by 2030 at latest, reducing emissions by at least 50% by 2030.
Measure and Record Embodied Carbon: Assess carbon in new developments and major refurbishments to understand high-emission materials.
Reduce Embodied Carbon: Prioritize circular economy principles, use low-carbon materials, and design for disassembly.
Energy Optimization: Improve efficiency in both existing assets and new developments.
Maximize On-site Renewable Energy: Install solar PV panels and conduct feasibility studies.
Maximize Renewable Energy Procurement: Use high-quality sources like Corporate PPAs or I-RECs.
Reduce Value Chain Emissions: Engage stakeholders to address Scope 3 emissions, particularly in logistics and embodied carbon.
Carbon Offsetting: Procure high-quality offsets focusing on permanence and additionality, transitioning to carbon removal.
Equitable Cost-Benefit Sharing: Develop engagement plans with tenants/building owners to share financial and operational burdens.

Supporting Frameworks and Benchmarks

Utilize global standards like GHG Protocol and tools like One Click LCA for carbon assessments.
Prioritize energy efficiency and renewable energy investments, adhering to Science-Based Targets and CRREM benchmarks.
Implement green leases and internal carbon pricing mechanisms to align incentives.

Recommendations for Stakeholders

Companies: Develop a comprehensive net-zero strategy, train staff, and integrate these principles into existing commitments.
Building Owners: Optimize operational emissions, engage tenants, and share data.
Investors: Use carbon pricing to influence financial flows and enforce sustainability criteria.

The urgency of decarbonization is emphasized, with all industry actors urged to adopt these principles promptly and report progress annually.
