Reduced-Carbon Envelope Systems for More Sustainable Industrial Properties: A Cost Analysis of Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Building operations and the construction industry account for 49% of global carbon emissions. Although different approaches have tried to lower the emissions of building operations, there have not been many initiatives to reduce the carbon emitted in construction. Currently, the embodied carbon of …

Capital expenditures in industrial properties
Using a sample of 1458 industrial properties with 36,450 quarterly observations, we apply a pair of OLS models to predict property-level NOI and capex. We then synthesize the results by modeling capex as a fraction of NOI, which we treat as a measure of property capex performance. We model capex …
