Paul Scrivener, Design Director, MCM Architecture – BIO

A new standard has been set for both creating and occupying energy efficient buildings in London. Land Securities' New Street Square - awarded an Excellent BREAMM rating - is the new home for Deloitte's urban London campus. The design process revealed a new level of understanding about how a companies' sustainability strategies often start with the base building, but shouldn't end there.

Working to complement the environmental sustainability inherent in the base building, Deloitte and MCM Architecture strived to fit-out the space in a way that best satisfied a wide range of seemingly conflicting goals, including workplace density and energy efficiency. Much was learned along the way, and the team will reveal what they would do differently if the project was launched today.

40% of energy consumption in the European Community is in the buildings sector, and the 2001 EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings has set the stage for change. Beginning next year, residential air conditioned buildings in United Kingdom face a "D" rating. It seems obvious that this will dramatically change our industry - but how? Is the future of air conditioning in commercial buildings in doubt? Join panelists from JP Morgan Chase Bank, British Land, and CBRE to discuss the future of the European office and the implications for real estate markets.

As both expectations for sustainable solutions in the built environment continue to rise, corporate real estate and property executives often find themselves in the middle of a debate, striving for the best information and the most viable alternatives. What are the "best" solutions for my corporate culture? How do I determine if the "newest" solutions are viable? Am I too early? Am I too late? This panel discussion will engage the audience in the debate, and examine the issues and pitfalls at the forefront of sustainable design and development, in the context of the corporate environment.

Responding to corporate goals for reduced space usage worldwide, Cisco has demonstrated that leveraging new communications technology, promoting collaboration, and enhancing environmental performance delivers benefits to the triple bottom line. The result is improved employee satisfaction, especially when the process used generates positive interest in change and mitigates its stress points.

Cisco's re-invented approach to space, IT infrastructure, and travel began in the United States at their corporate headquarters in San Jose. In Europe, Cisco is working with consulting firm ZZA Responsive User Environments to headline sustainability as a primary consideration in the design and operation of its offices, creating both viable employee engagement models and repeatable strategies for change management across the operational theatres. Pathfinder projects in both regions have achieved measurable improvements in the sustainability of Cisco's buildings and operations.

The book The 21st Century Office, by Philip Ross and Jeremy Myerson, was among the first to identify a trend toward distributed workspaces. What are the latest manifestations of this trend, and what are the implications for corporate real estate executives making plans for the future of their workplace portfolios?

BOX is a physical space on a university campus that provides a new type of innovation and community space in which companies, academic institutions and wider organizational networks explore complex problems. This is a potential model for organizations implementing distributed workplace strategies. Early BOX spaces have been successful - now the new question is whether even more people and organizations could benefit from virtual innovation and community spaces.

Daniel Morrell, Chairman, Daniel Morrell Ltd. – BIO

Darren Ball, Director, Novarama – BIO

One can easily become confused by the energetic debate on carbon emissions, carbon footprints, and the real estate industry's role in addressing global warming. In response, a group of innovators including Daniel Morrell, NBBJ, the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Management ESD Group Ltd., and Novarama Ltd are sharing a holistic approach to reducing the environmental impact of the built environment.

Their approach uses a design perspective to help organisations and individuals re-invent work-life patterns, deconstruct damaging energy consumption and demand habits, and re-create our built environment in a way that ensures a sustainable relationship with our planet. The team has created tools and processes to assess and quantify personal and business carbon footprints, recommend carbon management options, and establish a monitoring system with appropriate targets.

Optimum low-carbon solutions are achieved by identifying unique opportunities to specific projects and aligning, blending and fine-tuning the right mix of technologies to suit.

It is not the technical solution that should be standard, but the process: early load profiling, identification of synergies between loads (i.e. can cooling off-set heating, etc.), establish which natural features can be exploited, and adjust parameters in system design to align technologies, rather than superimposing ill-fitting technologies upon each other.

Corporate real estate executives share strategies that maximize the effectiveness
of all enterprise assets - real estate, knowledge and technology infrastructure.

Mike Tiplady, Director, Jones Lang LaSalle – BIO

KPMG, Microsoft and Jones Lang LaSalle were all expanding their businesses and seeking to create workspace that would attract the best talent, improve productivity and provide a responsible and sustainable platform for their businesses. The three case studies illustrate how the occupiers imbedded sustainability requirements into the processes for three very different procurement arrangements: 1) negotiation of a pre-let agreement, 2) design-development for owner occupation, and 3) fitting-out of existing premises, each resulting in a substantial increase in the ongoing sustainable performance of their workplaces.

Sam Monger, Associate Partner - Asset Management, IBM Global Business Services – BIO

A traditional limitation to outsourcing has been integration - of multiple service providers, and of multiple enterprise objectives, including the emerging and important goals for environmental sustainability.

Barclays has created a new model for managing FM partnerships that transfers responsibility and accountability for integration and performance of its partner network to a single supplier - Johnson Controls. A single shared vision, a "One Team" culture, and disciplined target-setting generated nearly 2 million GBP in the first 4 months of operation. IBM works with its clients to structure incentives that enable the supply market to deliver a combination of financial, quality and environmental benefits, toward establishing a best practice in sustainable FM. These efforts are re-inventing the ways in which outsourced suppliers are integrated with the enterprise's triple bottom line objectives.
