Energy & Sustainability

Taking steps to protect the environment is more than a social obligation for Transwestern. Conserving energy, effectively managing resources and making ethical operational decisions are good business. We’ve seen our Energy and Sustainability (E&S) solutions unlock significant value in our managed portfolio and across other business lines, and that’s why we make these best practices integral to our client offerings.

Data show that assets with an integrated sustainability platform average 11% greater net operating income and 6.2% greater occupancy than properties that overlook sustainability. “Green” buildings are in demand because they reduce operating costs, foster better health and wellness, boost productivity, and lead to greater tenant satisfaction.
