Retrogreening Offices in Australia

Davis Langdon investigates how the need for green could lead Australia's largest employment sector towards recovery.

Australia’s commercial sector is feeling the fallout of the economic downturn. A sharp reduction in demand for office space, along with increasing unemployment and declining economic growth forecasts are beginning to take a toll on the sector.

However, the time ahead could also pose some significant opportunities.

In this report we investigate how building owners can use this ‘down time’ to reposition their assets, increase energy efficiency and improve value. By rethinking the way building owners invest, there are opportunities to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions while creating a raft of employment opportunities across the nation. This effectively leads to a stimulus ready productivity and performance improvement of a significant part of our built environment.
