Award Winning Tools and Technologies
Sustainability Measurement and Management Tools
Accurate measurement assures that our clients’ sustainability efforts move beyond good intentions to attainment and continuous improvement. Using analytical skills, technological tools and a Six Sigma driven process, our team helps clients develop meaningful evaluation metrics at every stage of the sustainability cycle, including:
§ Measurement of carbon footprint, energy consumption and other sustainable baselines at the outset.
§ Ongoing performance monitoring and tracking for sustainable initiatives.
§ Annual environmental compliance and data recording procedural audits, and customized sustainability reporting for regulatory, customer, shareholder, analyst and general public audiences.
Samples of award winning technologies and tools developed by Jones Lang LaSalle include:
§ ESP: Environmental Sustainability Platform: Our ESP tool provides clients with an understanding of real time energy performance in one (or many) buildings. Our solution can include the installation of metering solutions or gathering of site data to track performance.
§ PEERS: Portfolio Energy & Environmental Management Reporting System: Effectively tracking progress and measuring success is critical to a sound energy and environmental portfolio management program. Jones Lang LaSalle's PEERS tool helps our clients calculate their carbon footprint, record energy costs and predict the impact of potential projects.
§ The Third Dimension: The Third Dimension is a unique sustainability risk mapping service used as a valuable management tool by its syndicate members. It enables property investors to identify their exposure to - and hence be able to mitigate or manage - current and future sustainability risks. Strategic sustainability recommendations are developed for each client.
§ Sustainability Benchmarking: In 2001 Upstream Sustainability Services established a confidential service to benchmark the sustainability of real estate assets – based on operational performance actually achieved. Since then there have been in excess of 1,500 surveys, with 350 properties (200 offices and 150 retail properties) from eight countries being benchmarked in the current survey. Owners and occupiers of property benefit from Jones Lang LaSalle’s focus on strategies and actions for improvement, rather than static labels for a building.
Tools for Locating, Leasing and Occupying Green Office Space
With sustainability a key priority for many Jones Lang LaSalle clients, they are seeking information on how to be more "green" when leasing office space. To meet this need, we developed the Green Office Toolkit, which provides basic information to help our clients find and lease space in green buildings, build-out sustainable workspace and implement green operating practices at their offices.
