green value

There is an expanding literature on the value of sustainability features in buildings (European Commission, 2013; World GBC, 2013; World GBC, 2014). While several publications focus on the price differentiation between buildings with sustainability credentials and buildings with no sustainability credentials (Eichholtz et al., 2010; etc.), others examine the costs and benefits of sustainability features individually referring to both monetary and intangible values (Heerwagen, 2000).
