Project Supervision

Building energy efficiency is the inevitable way to build and carry out sustainable development strategy, and it is also the inherent requirement to improve the quality of building function. The procedural law which engineering quality of building energy efficiency forms demands that it is necessary for government to put comprehensive and whole process supervision into effect, to pay attention to quality review before construction, to strengthen comprehensive supervision during construction, to be rigid when supervising on checking the quality of energy efficiency project , to be serious to handling procedures and methods of energy efficiency project supervision, and to standardize supervision reports and archives. In a word, all above are to realize continuous improvements and efficiency increasing of government supervision on engineering quality of building energy efficiency project.

We investigate the factors (“drivers”) that motivated investment in energy efficiency in commercial real estate office buildings over the 2006–2011 and 2012–2017 period, and looking forward from 2018 in the context of growing concern over carbon emissions around the world. These insights were collected from large Canadian asset managers through interviews conducted in 2017 and 2018. Key findings were that (1) organizations noted an increasing number of factors driving investment decisions over the three periods; (2) cost drivers (payback period and anticipated financial returns) were the top two drivers in 2006–2017; (3) public relations factors became significantly more important looking forward, with brand (reputational impact) as the top-ranked driver and tenant attraction tied for third place; and (4) mitigation against risks such as resilience and anticipated compliance consistently increased in importance. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of past, present, and near-future sustainable real estate investment priorities, changing owner behaviors, and the perceived business case for building energy efficiency investments.
