Greater Profits through High-Performance Building Programs

 

“Greater Profits through High-Performance Building Programs” is a business-focused seminar designed to teach attendees the value of Green Building for their organizations. The seminar will focus on illustrating how the “Triple Bottom Line” approach to building design, construction, and operations can help building owners combine Economics, Ethics, and Environmental issues into a winning strategy for profitability.

 

Throughout the seminar, seasoned professionals will cover all of the related information. Principals from an Environmental Building Consulting firm will present case studies showing how several Fortune 500 companies have used Green Building to increase property values, reduce liability and increase profit from energy efficiency and operation programs. A human resources professional will discuss reasons to invest in building a work environment that will motivate employees to improve productivity, performance, and profitability. Most importantly, a certified public accountant will demonstrate how to quickly recover any additional first costs that may be attributable to building green through the use of “cost segregation,” a tax strategy that can be applied to Green Building projects to accelerate return-on-investment for building elements typically used in LEED Certified Buildings.

 

Seminar attendees will gain valuable knowledge and techniques they can use to maximize financial opportunities for their own businesses. They will see how a value-based approach to building construction can achieve positive, predictable results and understand how to use the LEED program for profit. They will learn how to accelerate depreciation payback periods, increase ROI, and boost tax savings. Attendees will also learn specific tactics to get the most out of their workforce by retaining top performers and enhancing overall performance and productivity.
