This provides
building owners and potential buyers with a better understanding of a
building's
energy and water consumption, eventually shifting the market toward increasingly
efficient, high -
performing buildings.
Assuming there will be above - average
performing buildings available, property values of the most
energy inefficient comparables will plummet, once the most
efficient buildings are labeled; while those with the poorest air quality ratings will theoretically lose tenant interest, slowly driving down rent and perhaps property value.
