nThis teleconference will help you understand the contributing factors to ROI of the maturing green building practices on brownfields. Many professionals in the real estate investment business have witnessed how the redevelopment of brownfields has increased over time due to the market realizing the ability to make a return on investment on contaminated properties. In effect, the value of a cleaned-up property is no longer stigmatized by experienced investors and developers because of our mature position on the learning curve. Conventional wisdom was the costs incurred for green building related costs may not enhance the market value even on greenfield sites. Now studies indicate that increased energy efficiencies and a market demand for a limited supply of green buildings can provide ROI when measured against the up-front development and construction costs. Green buildings can also yield an increase to net operating income and enhance real estate market value.
n
nA survey by the Northeast-Midwest Institute indicated a trend that large-scale, community transforming brownfields redevelopment in the U.S. is going green. In this challenging economic climate, buyers, credit tenants and long-term investors are increasingly likely to reward developers who apply these asset values, operational efficiencies and real estate development conditions as a condition of occupancy or investment. The speakers will evaluate projects which have succeeded in mixing green and brown to reward the triple bottom line.
n
nMixing green and brown when applied to investment in major urban mixed-use redevelopment projects is a win-win strategy for energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gases. High performance buildings save energy needed to operate the buildings. Responsible redevelopment of brownfields in urban centers also reduce GHGs through fewer vehicle miles traveled because of pedestrian-friendly, biking, multiple transit options, housing density, mixing of building uses and proximity to job centers and infrastructure.
n
nThe U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for new construction and neighborhood development is undergoing changes in 2009 affecting how owners are to be certified for realizing the benefits of designing for energy and water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and the lower greenhouse gas emissions attributes of green buildings and transit-oriented development locations. This teleconference helps potential LEEDŽ applicants on brownfields redevelopment projects understand how the LEEDŽ pilot program for neighborhood development is being finalized as a standard in 2009.

nLearning Objectives:
n- You will be able to breakdown the benefits and synergies when developers, architects, engineers, contractors, lawyers and stakeholders mix green - planning, design and construction methods into brownfields.
n- You will be able to apply LEED(R) and green building techniques, sustainable site development and remediation practices and apply them to urban mixed-use redevelopments.
n- You will be able to associate from past projects of how green redevelopment practices and transit oriented development opportunities on brownfields can help developers and their host municipalities offset the cost premiums.
n- You will be able to discuss perceived stigmas associated with contaminated land development and a complex regulatory approval process so they can be mitigated.
