The Green Symposium: Capturing Efficiencies in the Commercial Office

Green is not just about cutting-edge green technologies and products. It is also about cutting costs, improving efficiencies and quality, and reducing risk. This is important for success in any economy, but especially critical during tight times.

The Green Symposium brings together leaders from the real estate, legal, design and energy services industries. They will lead a focused discussion on how to capture efficiencies by greening the operation of commercial offices by both tenants and landlords - efficiencies that save money and the environment.

Specific topics to be covered include:

• Unlocking opportunities for commercial office tenants in the current real estate market.
• The new and rapidly developing area of green leasing.
• Simple and effective greening tips for tenants.
• Update on green buildings and green fit outs.
• Incentives available to assist green innovation.
• Update on energy supply and the cost saving opportunities for commercial office tenants.
• Design provides the place but operations define the shade of green you maintain.
