Regulatory change

“20-20-20” goals set down by the European Union 20% of consumed energy to be renewable 20% increase in energy efficiency 20% reduction in emissions

Energy Performance of Buildings Directive adopted in 2002 Certification of buildings based on its relative energy performance (EPCs) Required in UK for all large buildings occupied by public authority or relevant

institution by October 2008 (DECs) UK Buildings regulations Zero Carbon by 2019

Climate Change Bill introduced by UK Government in November 2008 Reduction in emissions levels by 26-32% by 2020 and 60% by 2050 5 year carbon budgets UK Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) = Carbon cap/trade on Property

portfolios that consumed > 6,000 kw/h per annum in 2008

Trend in Regulation and Legislation Increasingly onerous and weighted toward fiscal penalty rather than incentive

By 2020 (compared to 1990)

Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC)

CRC is a ‘cap and trade’ scheme ~ financial incentives/penalties for large occupiers + investors to improve energy efficiency

Organisations with total electricity consumption over 6,000MW hrs/yr (typically £500,000 pa)

A league table of performance will be published each year CRC brings carbon penalties to existing buildings in the UK

Cost $13.2 million (on top of a planned $500 refurbishment) with payback in 3 years - through energy & operational savings

Reduce energy use by up to 38% Achieve annual savings of $4.4 million Reduce carbon emissions by 105,000 metric tons over the next 15 years Be complete within two years Serve as a global model for owners of existing buildings

Why “Green” buildings will outperform

If… Investment Implications Underlying Effects on ‘Green’ Assets

Tenants prefer to occupy ‘green’ buildings

Green assets let more quickly Rental growth higher and lower depreciation

Shorter cash flow risk

Green buildings = lower operating costs

More tenant money is available for rent

Rental growth higher and lower depreciation

Government regulation and legislation

‘Greener’ assets de-risked as more attractive to and retain tenants better

Lower risk premium than ‘brown’ buildings

Investors have fiduciary duty to invest in ‘green’ buildings

‘Green’ properties = more liquid ‘Green’ properties are more liquid + should attract a lower risk premium = higher value = “Green Alpha”

Low carbon property investment – the new mainstream

“Prime investment” now encompasses sustainability

Investment downside risk protection + value upside

Low growth, banking crisis > Cash flow fundamentals

Rents + 6-8% ,Capital Values + 16% (Maastricht/Berkeley)

more UK + pan European research in hand

Low carbon property is mispriced

No need to trade return for “Green”

> Green Alpha
