Buildings and climate change research round-up - 2007 - Property Forecast 10(5) May 2007, 11-13(3) .
Examines recent guidance which has looked at how buildings can be made more efficient and sustainable. Looks at the British Property Foundation's five step process to help landlords and managing energy agents improve the energy performance of their buildings, its les-ter project, and the landlord's energy statement. Briefly notes reports by the National Audit Office (L137656) and RICS (L137395) and provides a detailed appraisal of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report, "Buildings and climate change: status, challenges and opportunities" (L138489). The UNEP report covers both developed and developing countries and suggests that reducing energy use and improving energy efficiency in buildings can significantly help efforts to fight global warming.
