Realize the value of going "green" with this NEW seminar from the Appraisal Institute!
Co-developed by Theddi Wright Chappell, MAI, and Timothy Lowe, MAI

Designed for investors, developers, appraisers and other real estate professionals, as well as design professionals and other members of the sustainable building community, this never-before offered seminar explores the history and progress of the "green" building  movement in the US, how buildings held for investment relate to the larger green building  universe, and how green buildings may be analyzed and valued for investment purposes.

This insightful 7-hour seminar addresses green buildings from the ground up – from design principles to cost-benefit analysis to implications for the valuation process. Case studies of recently completed green buildings illustrate the real-world applications of covered concepts.

Classroom discussions will help you:

  • Identify the relevant components of a sustainable property
  • Find out about information resources for green buildings and projects
  • Evaluate construction costs in the context of long-term benefit, capital and operating costs, and relative to net income from operations and reversion
  • Analyze the relevance of green features in the marketplace
  • Assess market and investment risks relative to potential rewards
  • Identify who pays the costs and who receives the benefits for the sustainable elements incorporated in green construction
  • Provide a competent and reliable estimate of market value in the context of available data
