The Green Building Opportunity Index is the first office market assessment tool to provide weighted comparisons of top U.S. office markets on the basis of both real estate fundamentals and green development considerations. Focusing on the primary factors that influence successful development, retro-fitting, leasing and sales of investment grade “green” office buildings in the 25 largest U.S. Central Business Districts (CBDs), the Index compares a market’s relative position to its peers in six categories: Office Market Conditions, Investment Outlook, Green Adoption & Implementation, Local Mandates & Incentives, State Energy Initiatives and Green Culture.
