A modeling tool from MIT’s Sustainable Design Lab is now helping to support the sustainable growth of the world’s rapidly expanding urban areas. Rather than planning one green building at a time, urban designers and architects can draw a new neighborhood or city and then use the tool to calculate energy use and emissions for the entire collection of buildings in their design. They can also determine how comfortable the residents will be, both indoors and outdoors, and how likely they will be to walk rather than drive. Christoph Reinhart, head of the Sustainable Design Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, provides further information.

The International Property Measurement Standards Coalition (IPMSC) was formed on 30 May 2013 after meeting at the World Bank in Washington DC. The Coalition aims to bring about the harmonisation of national property measurement standards through the creation and adoption of agreed international standards for the measurement of office, residential, industrial and retail property. This Consultation Document for the measurement of offices is the first prepared by the Coalition’s Standards Setting Committee. The aim of the Coalition is to enable properties to be measured on a transparent basis that promotes market efficiency through greater confidence between investors, occupiers and funds. The growth of cross‐border property investment and expansion by global corporate occupiers underpins the demand for transparency against the background of many differing national and local measurement conventions. Comments are requested by 4 April 2014.
