The International Sustainability Alliance, the global network of real estate organisations, has launched its 2011 Benchmarking Report, described as the first meaningful attempt to publish sustainability metrics for real estate. The report focuses on a selection of ISA member’s property assets in the office and retail sectors across five countries: Portugal, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. It features three critical ISA key performance indicators (KPIs) that measure the intensity of energy, water and CO2 emissions by floor area. ISA members will be able to use this data to obtain individual reports on the performance of their portfolios. The report will be published on an annual basis by ISA. As membership increases, the ISA database is growing rapidly and the volume of quality data on individual building classes grows. This in turn generates opportunities for research, analysis and sharing of corporate knowledge in sustainability reporting.

In 2008, RICS commissioned the Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development (OISD) at Oxford Brookes University to undertake a three year benchmarking and monitoring survey of how RICS members were engaging with the sustainability agenda. This new research builds on the RICS Green Profession report of 2007. The key aims of the RICS Green Gauge survey are to: assess the extent to which the surveying profession is continuing to engage with the sustainability agenda, by examining key measures such as the response to client demand for sustainability-based services and the frequency of use of sustainability information, tools and techniques; track and monitor attitudes towards the sustainability agenda over time, and examine changes in attitudes by Professional Group and by Global Region; and identify and prioritise policy actions for RICS to monitor and improve the level of service it provides to its members in relation to the use of such information, tools and techniques.
