The real estate value chain encompasses all stakeholders and activities involved in the lifecycle of buildings—from initial concept and design to procurement, construction, operation, and end-of-life. Achieving meaningful reductions in the carbon footprint of the built environment requires coordinated action across the entire value chain.

Collaboration is essential among developers, building owners, architects, construction firms, policymakers, tenants, and utilities. A successful decarbonization strategy integrates these diverse perspectives and drives systems-level change.

Our research on decarbonizing the real estate sector focuses on three key areas: tenant and owner engagement, electric utility and real estate developer cross sector collaboration, and the emerging priority of building materials’ impact.
