14. Split incentives: create the motivation to remove barriers creatively e.g. green leases – but even these types of solutions require a disciplined approach

15. Owners of <B Grade Office/Retail/ Industrial sectors lagging to effect changes - only cost focused

16. Sustainability pitch ‘too narrow’: mainly focused on energy/ enviro performance as the primary success element –independent of ‘social elements’ e.g. user interaction with building and enhanced productivity

17. Productivity benefits hard to prove though : ‘non quant’ evidence not trusted in an industry trained to make decisions on hard data, taking a more holistic approach to successful sustainable performance requires mindset change (and the market needs to show it will pay for it too)

18. Lack of training and incentives for managers at the coalface –there is still a skill gap and lagging pay to motivate – difficult to challenge the traditional linear mindset to engineering solutions which is inhibiting innovative approaches

19. Cost cutting compromises to meet short term financial imperatives –directly conflicts with the longer term investment approach sustainability requires

20. Driving ‘without a dashboard’ – we must equip Property Managers, FM and Blg Engineers with good quality data so they can make informed decisions to maximise better building performance outcomes Principles and outcomes from all sessions available at www.3pillarsnetwork.com.au

41. Optimising the Landlord-Supplier Relationship: Principles to support a highly effective working relationship * Building Upgrades o We need to build momentum to upgrade the other 98%, the Bs, Cs and Ds. Incentives, business cases, * Leadership o We need further R&D in how to upgrade buildings o The government should show leadership in upgrading their own buildings o Landlords need to be more willing to try new technology. Landlords should be permitted to fail occasionally. o We still have a long way to go o There is a lot of technology we are not using. * Skills Gap o There is a skills gap in training for property professionals particularly those involved with facility and asset management o Some training needs to be site specific, some can be general * Information flow o We need a way to encourage information flow about what works and what does not to be able to be shared. Most building issues will have occurred somewhere else to someone else. * Procurement o Partnering between Landlords and their suppliers seems to achieve the greatest outcomes. They can agree a scope and work together for a higher standard of outcome o Landlord's scopes of work for tenders need to describe precisely the works and roles that are required. Too often the brief is very loose, making it unclear, neither party then achieves what they want. * Building Management Systems o There should be a standard format for electricity, gas and water bills. o We need more standardisation in BMS reporting systems. * Value of sustainability o We need to promote and encourage people to be aware of the value and impact of sustainability
