Measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is as important to managing operating costs and remaining competitive in the marketplace as measuring and reducing energy consumption. Managing both greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption are indicators of operational performance and together create a comprehensive gauge for building efficiency.
Buildings account for 39% of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted in the United States, and measuring and managing this footprint is a necessity with pending state and federal climate legislation. There has never been a more crucial time to understand the impact of your portfolio’s operations on climate. JDM’s holistic approach to carbon management entails measuring and tracking carbon emissions at the building and portfolio level, helping set achievable carbon reduction targets, and developing portfolio-wide strategies for decreasing carbon emissions. Through our policy expertise, we ensure that clients understand state and federal requirements and capitalize on available incentives for energy and greenhouse gas reductions.
