ESG investment that considers environmental, social, and governance factors is attracting attention. ESG is an investment method that emphasizes long-term sustainability and social responsibility.
There is also a growing trend in architecture for 'eco-friendly architecture' that saves the earth. What are the advantages of eco-friendly architecture?
increase in real estate value
Green buildings can reduce operating costs due to energy efficiency and resource conservation, which contributes to increasing the market value of the building. Buildings with environmentally friendly characteristics actually often have high rents and sale prices.
Reduce operating costs
Using energy-efficient equipment and renewable energy sources (e.g. solar panels) can reduce operating costs in the long term. This has the effect of shortening the investment payback period and increasing the return on investment.
Increased rental demand
Demand for eco-friendly buildings is increasing for both companies and individuals. In particular, large companies tend to move into eco-friendly buildings to comply with ESG standards. This can ultimately increase rental demand and lower the vacancy rate.
financial benefits
In order to spread eco-friendly building certification, the government provides incentives for building standards such as floor area ratio and maximum height according to each certification grade, while providing various benefits such as additional calculation of architect design work fees, support for new and renewable energy installation subsidies, and tax support. .
Improved health and productivity
Eco-friendly buildings have the effect of improving the health and productivity of workers because they have a good environment such as excellent natural lighting, high air quality, and appropriate temperature.
This increases user satisfaction in the long term and provides a better living and working environment.
image improvement
Choosing eco-friendly architecture also helps build a corporate image that fulfills social responsibilities. It can also receive positive reviews from investors who value corporate social responsibility.
Eco-friendly architecture is having a positive impact on the real estate market from economic, environmental, and social aspects, and interest is also increasing.
