5 A study estimates Earlier this summer, BOMA that as many International, in collaboration as 77,000 with other real estate industry groups and with support from a grant jobs would be from software developer Yardi, released a created and groundbreaking study on the costs and benefits $7.4 billion of modernizing and extending the Energywould be added Efficient Commercial Building Tax Deduction, annually to the commonly referred to as 179D. The study, which U.S. GDP if a was conducted by Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI), demonstrates the economic value of proposed longterm extension modernizing and extending the provision. In fact, the study estimates that as many as 77,000 jobs and modification of would be created and $7.4 billion would be added 179D were passed. annually to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States if such a long-term extension and modification of 179D were passed by the U.S. Congress. First enacted in 2005, 179D allowed U.S. commercial building owners to offset some of the costs of energy efficiency retrofits. Over the past decade, it became an important tool for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment. In fact, 179D was the only federal incentive for commercial building owners to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, commercial buildings accounted for almost 19 percent of total nationwide energy consumption in Thus, even small reductions in energy use in the industry can have a large overall effect. BOMA International, a long-time supporter of the tax deduction, currently is working with lawmakers in Congress to encourage the extension of the incentive, which expired in BOMA also is calling for a revision of the language to expand the pool of owners eligible for the incentive and increase the deduction from $1.80 per square foot to $3 in order to encourage even more ambitious retrofits. In its current form, the requirements to earn a tax deduction are out of reach for many existing buildings, which account for 98 percent of all building stock (with 88 percent 15 years or older). Likewise, there has been no security for building owners looking to use the deduction to make energy efficiency improvements, because the deduction also has been repeatedly retroactively extended rather than made a permanent part of the tax code. By leaving property 34 BOMA MAGAZINE JULY AUGUST 2017 professionals in limbo, lawmakers are failing to fully utilize the commercial real estate industry as both an economic driver and a leader in sustainability efforts. Strengthening and modernizing 179D would come with huge benefits, according to the study, including lower utility bills and energy costs, as well as greater innovation, job creation and economic expansion. These findings confirm what property professionals already know: 179D has proven to be a valuable industry resource. With an extension and some adjustments, it will continue to drive energy efficiency in the commercial real estate industry forward. BY KEN ROSENFELD Great new ideas were flowing at the 2017 BOMA International Conference & Expo in June, including the launch of the W 2 Challenge, a two-year initiative to encourage commercial real estate professionals to benchmark water and waste consumption and improve performance. With the support of a generous grant from Yardi and in partnership with BOMA local associations, this new challenge will highlight and expand the sustainability efforts of the commercial real estate industry. An initiative of BOMA International s Energy and Environment Committee, the challenge addresses several timely issues facing the commercial real estate industry. Water costs continue to rise in the face of droughts and infrastructure challenges. Waste minimization has become an industry priority, impacted by rising raw material and disposal costs, regulatory pressures and changing consumer preferences. The saying waste not, want not is as relevant today as ever. The W 2 Challenge will use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, which is already a popular tool for tracking energy use. Any commercial real estate professional who owns or operates a single building or an entire portfolio can participate. The first year of the challenge will establish a baseline of water and waste consumption and costs, and the second year will promote performance improvements. And, these efforts will not be wasted: Participants will receive progress reports, as well as guidance and best practices from BOMA and industry partners, and will be eligible for recognition for their leadership. Properties will have the chance to hit their own high-water mark, so to speak. REAP THE REWARDS The industry is already reaping the rewards of energy benchmarking and is well-positioned to expand these efforts into waste and water. As with energy benchmarking, participation in the W 2 Challenge will allow professionals 38 BOMA MAGAZINE JULY AUGUST 2017 to better understand and track individual building consumption and compare their performance to peers. The challenge also will make this data actionable by providing training and guidance on how to improve water and waste management practices and reduce operating costs. Additionally, the W 2 Challenge will offer industry leaders the opportunity to have their sustainability achievements highlighted. All participants will be recognized for accepting the challenge, and buildings and portfolios that show improvement in performance will receive special recognition throughout the duration of the challenge. For the commercial real estate industry as a whole, the challenge will provide critical information to enable dramatic reductions in waste and water on a large scale. Building owners and managers now have a convenient vehicle to track water consumption, waste output and associated costs; the resulting data will demonstrate the opportunities for operating cost savings through the implementation of best practices for water and waste management, as well as establish the potential impact of voluntary performance improvements for use in BOMA s research and advocacy efforts. The challenge has the potential to take the industry beyond energy efficiency to the next big thing in sustainable best practices. DON T WASTE ANY TIME The challenge runs from January 1, 2018, through the end of 2019, but make a commitment now so you ll have the details you need to be ready at the start of the program. Participants will need access to regular water and waste consumption and cost information for the purposes of benchmarking, and also will need an active ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager account for each submitted building. ENERGY STAR will provide free training for participants on how to benchmark water and waste in Portfolio Manager. A commitment to tracking both water and waste is encouraged, but participants may join either portion of the challenge if faced with insurmountable reporting difficulties. Properties that are already maintaining water and waste data also are encouraged to sign up, since they can establish a longer baseline and receive credit for efforts already underway. BY JOHN MUGFORD With attendance reaching an all-time record of 1,240 people, BOMA International s 2017 Medical Office Buildings + Healthcare Real Estate Conference (MOB Conference) in Denver in May could only be considered yet another success. After launching just over a decade ago, the three-day event has become the country s largest in both attendance and content, with 22 panel sessions this year covering such topics as the top MOB acquisitions of the past year, development and design trends and the importance of partnerships between service providers and health systems. Throughout numerous discussions, speakers and panelists made it clear that demand remains very strong for medical properties from a variety of third-party firms and investors, be they publicly traded REITs, private equity funds, foreign capital sources, developers or others. This demand drove MOB investments to record levels in both 2015 and 2016, with sales hovering around $10 billion, according to data from Real Capital Analytics. Medical office buildings are intriguing investments for a number of reasons, Ryan Severino, chief economist with JLL said during a panel session titled, The Next Wave of Healthcare Real Estate Investors. He noted that even though cap rates, or the estimated return on investments, are at all-time lows for MOBs, they are not as low as for other investments, such as multifamily and office. And, he added, with total healthcare expenditures now totaling more than $3.2 trillion annually in the United States and expected to keep rising as the country s population ages, MOBs will be an important part of the delivery of care model for the next two or three decades. This is not a five- to 10-year proposition; it is for the long haul, Severino explained. Yet, despite the fact that demand for medical properties is expected to remain strong in the years to come, perhaps the overarching theme of the conference was that the people and companies who design, build, buy, own and manage properties occupied by healthcare providers are playing an increasingly important role in the delivery of care. Even though many of us involved in healthcare real estate are numbers people and pay attention to cap rates and offering prices and lease rates and structures, as well as annual increases in fees, this conference reinforced, through so many panels and discussions, that relationships and the 40 BOMA MAGAZINE JULY AUGUST 2017 Panelist Courtney Hanfland discusses how her health system found the right partner when Catholic Health Initiatives sold a large portfolio last year. ability to deliver services, regardless of what part of the business you specialize in, are key to being successful, said Julie Wilson, senior vice president of Leasing and Management with Nashville, Tennessee-based Healthcare Realty Trust, in an interview immediately following the conference. Wilson co-chaired the 2017 BOMA MOB Conference with Mary Beth Kuzmanovich, the national director of Healthcare Services with Colliers International. Kuzmanovich noted that the healthcare real estate sector continues to get more competitive, with new players looking to enter the market every year. As that competition comes in, I think the benefit is that it makes the really strong players look not just at the numbers, but at the relationships they have and are trying to cultivate, she said. And that involves following through and making long-term commitments and helping develop real estate strategies for clients by being experts in real estate and knowing the landscape. The players who can achieve this are really going to stand out and have plenty of work. Kuzmanovich added: Upwards of 70 percent of healthcare real estate in this country is owned by hospitals and hospital systems. That means that the competition is fighting for a very small portion of the universe of real estate in this space. As an example of what a third-party real estate firm can contribute to a health system, Courtney Hanfland, system director of Real Estate Transactions for Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI), talked about how the system wanted to find the right partner when it made the decision to sell a large portfolio of MOBs in The panel session was titled, An Inside Look at the Largest-Ever Health System Monetization Deal. After a long process of choosing which buildings to sell, CHI sold a portfolio of 51 properties for $700 million to publicly traded REIT Physicians Realty Trust. Hanfland noted that the REIT has used its capital and expertise to enhance the portfolio in ways that the health system might not have been able to do on its own, such as leasing up vacant space and making capital investments in certain properties. I m BY STEVE ORLOWSKI take on proposed building code changes? While BOMA International regularly shares the accomplishments of its codes team after each code development cycle, we wanted to take a moment to explain the process and the criteria used throughout the cycle to make these important decisions. The review process begins with the formation of the codes team, comprised of the chairs of the Building Codes and Voluntary Standards Committee, BOMA member volunteers and BOMA International staff. This group brings to the table a wealth of experience in the code development process and expertise in various topics covered in the International Code Council (ICC) I-Codes. The codes team starts by reading each proposed code change (all 2,000-plus of them) and determining if the code change would have an impact on commercial property owners and building managers. Code changes that have no impact on commercial building owners or are purely editorial in nature fall into the neutral category. For those code changes that do not fall into this category, the codes team asks the following questions to determine whether BOMA will support or oppose the proposal: Is the code change necessary to address a real problem or a deficiency in the code? Is the code change supported by compelling argument and sufficient data? Is the code change reasonable and does it provide a practical solution? Is the code change consistent with other code language and easily understandable? Once the codes team determines a position on each of the proposed changes, staff posts recommendations on BOMA s website and sends a report to committee members for their review and comment. Member feedback is important, and each comment received is taken into consideration. BOMA s codes team continues to share information with BOMA members throughout the code development process to ensure that every member has an opportunity to voice opinions or concerns. Since BOMA is the only representative of the commercial real estate industry at the ICC hearings, BOMA member participation is critical to assisting the codes team in its efforts to advocate effectively for positive changes to the built environment. Of course, representation at the code hearings is only one part of the strategy BOMA employs during the development cycle. We also solicit the assistance of our members to advocate our positions to their local code officials. This element is becoming increasingly important now that ICC allows remote voting by code officials. During the beta 6 BOMA MAGAZINE MARCH APRIL 2017 testing of the remote voting platform in 2014, ICC reported that there were 294 online voters who cast 23,905 votes. By 2015, the total number of online participants increased to 305 voters casting 45,141 votes. ICC reported a staggering 1,247 voters who cast a combined total of 162,035 votes in 2016 a clear indication that the ability to participate remotely is encouraging more code officials to participate in the process. Already, the number of online voters is exceeding the total number of attendees at hearings, which is why the codes team needs you to reach out to your local code officials and share our positions with them. OSHA REGULATIONS ON WALKING/ WORKING SURFACE AND FALL PROTECTION Another topic that members of the Building Codes and Voluntary Standards Committee spent a considerable amount of time discussing in San Diego was the changes made to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Walking-Working Surfaces and Fall Protection regulations. Last November, OSHA published its final rule in the Federal Register and announced that the changes to these regulations would go into effect on January 17, The changes apply to all general industry workplaces, construction sites, office buildings and industrial complexes. The regulations also cover a wide range of issues, from the proper training of employees on the use of ladders and scaffolding to the testing and inspection of fixed ladders and other anchor points of the building. The most immediate and important changes to the regulations that building owners need to be aware of are the new rules affecting the use of rope descending systems (RDS). Under the new regulations, a building owner is responsible for hiring a qualified person to certify by November 17, 2017, that each anchorage point on the building has been tested and meets the technical requirements outlined in the final rule. For buildings under 300 feet tall, the regulations require each existing anchor point to be inspected and certified that it is capable of carrying a load of 5,000 pounds. It then becomes the responsibility of the employer, such as a window cleaning contractor, to obtain a copy of the certification in writing and keep the copy in its records. This essentially puts the responsibility of worker safety on both the building owner and the employer. The new OSHA regulations now prohibit the use of rope descending systems on any building greater than 300 feet in height, unless the building owner can prove it is technically infeasible or would create a greater hazard using an alternative method. BOMA International has created a webpage under the Industry Issues section of BOMA.org outlining this information in greater detail and providing links directly to OSHA s website. All building owners are encouraged to review the changes to the OSHA regulations and make sure they meet the compliance deadlines before allowing the use BY KATHERINE M. NOONAN, ESQ. to arise. Keep in mind the following dos and don ts to help address issues that may occur during the course of a tenancy. DO INVEST THE TIME AND MONEY IN GETTING THE LEASE DONE RIGHT. An essential first step in a new tenancy is documenting the terms of the landlord-tenant relationship in the lease. Both sides should commit time and money to getting the lease done right. However, when push comes to shove, lease provisions governing the day-to-day interactions between the parties such as rent payment, use restrictions and assignment often get more attention than the doomsday scenarios that no one foresees at the start of the lease: casualty, condemnation and default. A lease should be clear about the rights and obligations of both parties and what happens if the obligations are not satisfied. A default must exist before you get to the remedy. If the lease language is ambiguous about who is responsible for a given cost, then a perfect remedy provision won t help, since you ll spend all your time arguing about whether a default even exists. DON T BE TOO FLEXIBLE. While a good relationship with a tenant is an invaluable asset, it should not replace the default and remedy language in the lease. The lease probably includes no waiver language, providing that waiver of a given provision does not imply future waivers, and this language protects the landlord by providing some important flexibility on enforcement of the lease. However, permitting tenant actions in violation of the lease can be a dangerous precedent. Remember that other tenants are watching, and a permissive landlord may see more tenants test the waters. DO PAY UPFRONT ATTENTION TO LIKELY PROBLEM AREAS. Be aware of issues with specific tenants that could be red flags, and pay close attention to how such issues are documented in the lease. For instance, if you suspect that a potential tenant will generate more traffic than usual in and to the premises, think through how this may affect parking, electricity usage and after-hours services. The boilerplate lease form language may need to be revised to eliminate as much gray area as possible. 18 BOMA MAGAZINE MARCH APRIL 2017 DON T ADDRESS LEASE DEFAULTS INFORMALLY. It s not enough to tell a tenant that rent is late or that the tenant s signage is prohibited. Defaults come in all shapes and sizes, and a typical lease outlines different default criteria and remedy provisions for monetary and non-monetary defaults. Even within those categories, there are likely to be specific provisions for default and notice related to insurance, the security deposit, improvements and so on. Written notice should be provided to the tenant clearly identifying the nature of the default and referencing the specific lease provisions that are being violated. The goal is for the violation to be promptly remedied, and a notice letter is often sufficient to accomplish this. However, it s essential to create a paper trail so that, if compliance is not achieved or if the default repeats or continues, the landlord can prove that notice was provided. It is essential that the landlord provide notice consistent with the requirements in the lease. DO LOOK FOR THE WIN-WIN. Even if the tenancy did not go as planned and the tenant has defaulted, leaving the landlord to conclude that removing the tenant is the best move, be aware that there are ways to negotiate an exit short of eviction. If this conclusion is the result of a monetary default, the landlord should consider whether renegotiating the term, rent and premises may be better for both parties. Such an agreement could result in financial benefit to the landlord without the potential uncertainty of a formal eviction process. Landlords and tenants can do their best to reduce potential issues from the start of a new lease, but the gamble remains. By keeping these tips in mind, the landlord may be able to ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Katherine Noonan is a member of the Real Estate Development and Complex Transactions Group at Ballard Spahr LLP in Washington, D.C.
