by Rebecca Walker — September 23, 2009—Property services giant Jones Lang LaSalle has launched a green consultancy service designed to help firms interested in purchasing a property assess the building’s environmental performance and risks.
The company said that its Pre-Acquisition Sustainability Service (PASS) would build on existing due diligence processes and help firms identify the environmental risks and opportunities associated with a property.
Alex Edds, associate director in Jones Lang LaSalle’s Sustainability Services team, said that the combination of new legislation, increased operational costs, growing demands from occupiers and the possibility of securing higher rents for greener buildings meant property investors increasingly required to understand the environmental performance of buildings across their portfolio.
The new service is part of a wider push into the green consultancy space presently being undertaken by Jones Lang LaSalle, which saw the company recently outline plans to bolster its environmental services across Europe.
