To produce a conservative estimate, the NPV improvement figure does not include additional upside potential from rental or cap rate premia, increases in occupancy, the ability to capture local incentives, and/or the avoidance of future regulations.Optimized sequencing. Used evolutionary optimization to determine the highest value set of actions to reach net zero; eg, the company installed efficiency measures early to maximize operating-expense savings and reduce capital expenditures required to electrify later.Avoided stranded capital. Acted immediately to ensure that near-term capital investments across the portfolio were aligned with long-term decarbonization plans. (Because roofs and majorequipment often have useful lives of 10 to >25 years, missed opportunities to electrify at end- of-life is likely to result in stranded capital or the need to retire equipment before the end of its useful life.)Avoided regulatory penalties. Developed plans to help ensure that fossil-fuel-powered assets are replaced before the required dates in applicable regions.Coordinated major investments. Coordinated major renovations and equipment upgrades (eg, roof replacements, insulation upgrades, and electrification of rooftop heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning HVAC systems) to reduce installation costs by sharing labor, project management, design, crane, and other costs.Updated lease agreements. Reviewed leases to ensure current templates allow for capital recoveries for investments that yield energy savings for tenants. This allows landlords to align costs and benefits across parties and avoid the “split-incentive problemz (For nonserviced leases, landlords may wish to consider metered- efficiency structures that can allow owners to receive a share of energy savings.)Leveraged bulk procurement. Developed plans that provide long-term visibility into all major HVAC and building envelope needs to negotiate bulk discounts and secure delivery timelines for major equipment and materials.Optimized power procurement. Developed an optimized power procurement Strategytied to an electrification timeline. The goal was to reduce the risk of signing large contracts at higher costs right before net-zero target dates.Captured incentives. Created a plan to apply for incentives available for net-zero-related electrification and energy efficiency measures. (These incentives were treated as an upside and were not factored into the NPV improvement estimate.)utilitybills,avoidedexistingregulatorypenalties,andreducedcapitalcosts(bycoordinatingprojectsandnegotiatingbulkprocurementpricing,forexample).Changesinthesefactors,suchasanewpriceoncarboninacertainjurisdictionorgreenpremiums,arelikelytoresultinpositiveeconomicsoverthelongrun.TraditionalapproachesaretypicallyslowerandmorecostlyTraditionally,ownershavetakenaproject-by-projectapproachacrosstheirportfolios,focusingondiscreteactionswithclearstand-alonepaybackperiods,suchasinstallinghigh-efficiencyequipment,lighting,andautomatedbuildingcontrols.Marginalabatementcostcurves,orMACCcurves,havehistoricallybeenusedtoidentifyandprioritizestand-alonepaybackperiodprojectsbycalculatingtheaverageindustrycosts,orsavings,pertonofcarbonabatedforthattypeofproject.MACCshavebeenausefulprioritizationtoolinthepastandremainsoforhighlystandardizedindustrieswheresite-specificoptimizationisnotyetavailable.However,forrealestateportfolios,anoptimizedapproachthatusesdataandanalyticscanyieldsignificantlyimprovedresults.Toillustratetherelativebenefitoftheoptimizedapproach,take,forexample,abuildingfollowinganaveragecommercialbuildingMACCcurvethatwouldyieldanNPVofnegative$1.1milliontoreachnetzero.Thesamebuilding,byoptimizingthepathwayforthespecificbuildingconditionsviathenewapproach,couldyieldanNPVofpositive$100,000toreachnetzero,representinga$1.2millionNPVimprovementcomparedwiththealternativemethod.Whyisthisthecase?Forcompanieswithanet-zerocommitment,theMACCapproachdoesnotconsidersitespecifics(suchasifthebuildingenvelopeisleaky)orinterdependenciesandcoordinationopportunitiesbetweendecarbonizationlevers.Accordingly,itoftenpushescostlyactionsintothefuture.Realestateownerscouldthenbeforcedtoimplementmoreexpensiveinitiativesatlater,nonoptimaltimes,leadingtowastedcapital(duetoissuessuchasoversizesystemsorequipmentthathastoberetiredbeforeendoflife)andlostenergysavings.Otherownershavetraditionallyworkedfromthebottom-up/conductingbuilding-by-buildingenergyauditsandengineeringstudiestoexamineissuesincludinginsulation,currentheating,ventilation,andair-conditioning(HVAC)systems,andonsitesolarpotential,andthendevelopingbespokedecarbonizationplans.Thisapproachoftentakesmonthsperbuildingandcanresultinaseriesofindividualreports,makingitdifficulttoaggregateplans,understandportfolio-widecosts,avoidwastedcapitalsuchasbyhavingtostripoutequipmentbeforeendoflife,complywithregulationsortargets,orfindportfolio-levelefficiencies(suchasthroughbulkprocurement).Howtogetstarted:ThesevenfeaturesofacrediblebuildingdecarbonizationplanWhilearangeofbuildingownersandoccupantsaremakingcommitmentstoachievenetzero,manylackcomprehensiveplans.GivenwhatisnowpossiblewithevolvingdataandAlandthesignificanteffectstheycouldhaveonthepaceofbuildingdecarbonizationandprofitability,majorbuildingownersandoccupiershaveanew
