Spark Notes – December 1, 2022

The real estate industry has a long way to go to reach targeted sustainability goals in 2030 through 2050. Building owners and investors are challenged by a lack of data to track carbon emissions and processes to deliver reductions amidst increasing regulations for reduced energy usage.
