How to measure and improve sustainability of real estate with University of Cambridge Professor Franz Fuerst and Anna Clare Harper.
In Anna's words:
I loved chatting to leading green real estate economist, University of Cambridge Professor Franz Fuerst, about measuring and improving the sustainability of real estate for the podcast.
Topics included:
- How the urgent situation in Ukraine affects important work in environmental performance of buildings
- The impact of Goodhart’s Law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"
- How we can understand and improve both potential and actual environmental and social performance of buildings, from knowing the limitations of EPCs to measuring spatial efficiency, walkability and ‘walkacity’
