CBRE, a world leader in commercial real estate services, summarizes the results of an extensive comparative analysis focused on the benefits of green certifications in office leasing. On a sample of 58 million m2 of office space and 44,500 lease agreements concluded in 18 European countries, including the Czech Republic, it shows the value that green certifications such as BREEAM or LEED bring to owners of administrative properties. Based on a comparison of several key indicators, CBRE has shown that the average vacancy rate in certified buildings is almost 2% lower than in non-certified competition, while the price per square meter of leased space is, on the contrary, 5.5% higher. The comparison of individual European markets is also interesting, from which the Prague one emerges as mature. Owners of sustainable buildings here achieve very good results in the long term.
