Robert Derector Energy & Sustainability

Great discussion, on implementing Decarbonization of NYC office fit-outs, at Building Energy Exchange on Tuesday. Jack Jenkins shared insights from recent Robert Derector Energy & Sustainability projects on ways to achieve Net Zero Carbon in operation - even for tenants taking space in fossil fuel heated buildings. We also heard from Bryan Hadick of CodeGreen Sustainability about REBNY (Real Estate Board of New York)'s recent office fit-out. With Zachary Schechter-Steinberg and Katie Schwamb joining for a panel discussion on implementing forward-thinking fit-outs. Katie also reminded us that there will be plenty going on during #NYCCW in NYC next week. A recording is available here: https://lnkd.in/gqSt_SJ4

Proud to share Everest’s 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report. For the third year in a row Robert Derector Energy & Sustainability (RDE) calculated and compiled the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions data that is included as Appendix A. It has been great to share in and support Everest’s GHG reporting journey over these last 3-year years - starting with the, not always so straightforward, basics and expanding the scope and boundary of reporting each year. ? For the 2021 report, Everest’s first year reporting it’s GHG emission, we helped Everest start this journey in a manageable way; by reporting on GHG from electricity use and business travel for US locations only. For the second year (2022), the reporting boundary was expanded to include most Everest locations worldwide, with the scope of reported emissions now including Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, along with GHG emissions from employee commuting and homeworking. This last year (2023) the scope and boundary has been expanded further to include all heating and electric energy use emissions at even the smallest shared office locations occupied by Everest. ? Our experts at RDE have a wealth of experience in supporting organizations taking either their first, or their next, steps in developing and reporting GHG emissions against Standards such as the Global Reporting Institute’s (GRI’s) Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). If you have a GHG reporting challenge to overcome, reach out, we would love to help. https://lnkd.in/egHtC5V4 #Sustainability #climate #energy #carbon #GHG #ESG #CSR #SEC

Great, animated, conversation during the recent IFMA NYC round-table on Local Law 97. Tareq Batarseh, PE, LEED AP and Jack Jenkins of Robert Derector Associates each led a discussion group, alongside Katherine Willis and Andrew Chintz from NYC Accelerator. Thank you to Molly Jarr (Warner Bros. Discovery) and Jessica Bogdan (Haworth) and the IFMA New York City Chapter Sustainability Committe for organizing and to Alexandra Liz for hosting at Blackstone’s space. Here at Robert Derector Associates our energy and sustainability group Robert Derector Energy & Sustainability (RDE) is working hard to help building owners both prepare for LL97 compliance and plan capital improvements to stay within their long terms carbon caps. We also regularly find ourselves providing technical support during lease negotiations – representing both owners and tenants in crafting language that will drive down future carbon emissions and LL97 penalties at the building overall. #Sustainability #LL97 #ECM #OperationalCarbon #GreenLease https://lnkd.in/eiRjfveP
