<p> </p><p><strong>Abstract
</strong></p><p>In today's environmentally conscious world, green building practices are gaining traction in the real estate industry. This project delves into the intricate relationship between green building features and property values, evaluating the potential financial benefits of sustainable design and construction. Through comprehensive research and analysis, the project aims to answer the following key questions</p><ul><li>To what extent do specific green building features influence property values in different market segments (residential, commercial, etc.)?</li><li>How do various stakeholders (buyers, sellers, investors) perceive the value proposition of green buildings?</li><li>Are there quantifiable economic benefits associated with green building certifications and energy efficiency ratings?</li><li>What are the potential challenges and barriers to incorporating green features into property development, and how can they be overcome?</li></ul><p>By exploring these questions, the project seeks to provide valuable insights and data-driven evidence for developers, investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders within the real estate market. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient built environment while promoting informed decision-making in property valuation and development.</p> <br><p></p>
