Green offices tend to cost more

High costs are still an obstacle to the green office, according to a study by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), which compares the prices of properties with and without internationally recognized sustainable certifications.

In Paris, the value of green properties can be up to 35% higher than the "ordinary," while it is increased by 26% in London.

Certifications, such as LEED and BREEAM, consider standards for using renewable energy, materials used in construction, and water reuse, but also increase the financial value of properties.

This makes it difficult for those who want to follow green standards but have difficulty raising capital.
