A
Profitable and Resource Efficient Future: Catalysing Retrofit Finance
and Investing in Commercial Real Estate is the product of the Retrofit
Finance & Investing Project, a cross-industry, multistakeholder
initiative of the World Economic Forum launched in 2010.
The
report equips policy-makers and industry leaders with the information
and tools needed to build and scale retrofit markets around the world.
It highlights the business potential waiting to be tapped by multiple
industries and underscores the acute importance for government leaders
to take action now: to ensure a resource-secure, low-carbon future and
to benefit from the economic and job creation potential that
retrofitting promises. It calls to action the range of existing and
potential stakeholders to fully and jointly participate in growing a
healthy retrofit market, including government, financial service
institutions, investors, property owners, utilities, equipment
manufacturers, energy service companies and other related industries.
Finally, it provides industry-specific recommendations to enable their
participation.
