Benefits of green construction for real estate investors
Sustainable living in India has certainly crossed over from being a simple buzzword, to a way of life; and it’s reshaping real estate as we know it. Climate change and space scarcity are two important watch words that have had a tremendous impact in the Indian construction industry; giving way to buildings with that are a smart green investment for the future.
Here are 5 benefits green construction offers real estate investors:
Higher property value and marketability
There is an increased demand for properties with green certifications. Certifications such as LEED and BREEAM often attract more buyers and tenants. Because of high demand, energy efficient and sustainably built properties often come attached with premium pricing in terms of both sale and rent.
Lower operating costs
The biggest plus point offered by green buildings is energy efficiency. There is a notable reduction in utility bills due to better insulation, LED lighting, and energy efficient HVAC systems. Low flow fixtures and implementation of rainwater harvesting methods would help in significant cutting of water expenses as well.
Access to incentives and financing
With the aim to encourage construction of sustainable buildings and adopt sustainable practices in construction, the government offers various financing options, incentive and subsidies. For example, the MNRE (The Ministry of New and Renewable energy) provides subsidies for solar panels and other renewable energy installations. Several financial institutions offer green bonds and other sustainable investment options that helps investors back environmentally responsible projects.
Compliance to regulatory changes
The Indian construction industry is a dynamic when it comes to environmental regulations. Investing in green estate is a future forward approach as the properties will comply not just to current regulations, but also future industry standards. When compared to traditional buildings that can face exorbitant upgradation costs, green buildings exceed set standards; thus providing savings and increased property value in the long run.
Positive brand image
A positive brand image is crucial for a construction company that is looking for future expansion. Green buildings help in enhancing a developer’s value and credibility. This can garner high investor interest as they increasingly favour assets aligned with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria.
