SEOUL, May 31 (Korea Bizwire) – As corporations strive to respond to environmental crises by implementing decarbonization strategies, interest in eco-friendly offices has surged, according to a report released on May 30 by JLL, a global real estate services firm. 
The report reveals that the proportion of Grade A offices in Seoul with green certifications has more than doubled over the past four years, increasing from 21% in 2019 to 45% in 2023. 
JLL classifies offices as Grade A if they offer exceptional facilities, with a total floor area of at least 33,000 square meters and a floor plate of at least 1,089 square meters, in addition to prime locations. 
“In line with climate neutrality declarations by the government and local authorities, the commercial real estate industry has steadily increased the supply of buildings with environmental certifications,” a JLL representative stated.
“Tenants have begun considering environmentally friendly building operation strategies and related certifications as essential requirements.” 
In a JLL survey on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, more than 80% of tenant respondents expressed a desire to transition all their office spaces to green-certified buildings by 2030.
Moreover, over 70% of tenants identified environmentally friendly building designs based on energy circulation techniques as their top priority for carbon reduction.
However, 60% of respondents cited cost concerns regarding sustainable building renovations in the current high-interest rate market environment as a significant challenge.
Addressing this issue, JLL highlighted potential solutions, such as Seoul’s building energy efficiency programs and green-based collaboration structures between tenants and landlords. “Business models like ‘green leases’ that facilitate cooperation between landlords and tenants are gaining attention,” the representative added.
Green leases incorporate clauses for sustainable office operations, including the adoption of alternative energy sources and waste reduction plans, in addition to standard rental terms.
“The Korean real estate market’s interest in sustainability will continue to grow,” said Shim Hye-won, head of the JLL Korea Research Team. “The trend of preferring green-certified offices is expected to persist.”

Downtown Orlando may get a new on-demand, eco-friendly shuttle service – Orlando Weekly

By McKenna Schueler on Wed, May 29, 2024 at 2:33 pm
City officials are considering launching a new, on-demand shuttle service in downtown Orlando in the hopes of expanding transit options and activation the downtown core.
The idea was discussed during a Downtown Orlando Community Redevelopment Area Advisory Board (CRAAB) meeting last week, where the board recommended program approval. A city spokesperson confirmed the concept will now go before the Orlando City Commission for a vote on June 10.

The company that the city would be partnering with — Circuit Transit — has similar shuttle programs in West Palm Beach (where most rides are free), Fort Lauderdale and more than 40 other locations across the country, from California to Texas and Massachusetts.
According to Palm Beach Daily News, their on-demand shuttle service with Circuit Transit began as a pilot program back in 2021, transporting riders between downtown West Palm Beach and the town of Palm Beach. The program was extended in 2022 due to the popularity of the program, with ride prices ranging from free to $8, depending on where you’re headed and the number of passengers.
According to the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority, the program’s use within the first year represented “over 85,000 rides provided in the past 12 months, a reduction of more than 60 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and the creation of 37 jobs for local residents as managers, supervisors and driver/ambassadors.”
On-demand shuttle programs that run in other Florida cities allow up to five passengers per ride, with rides accessible through the company’s mobile app. So, basically, if replicated in Orlando, it’s a city-subsidized Uber ride that is eco-friendly and would exclusively serve the downtown Orlando core.
Unlike the crash-prone, driverless shuttle program the city launched last year, these vehicles would be driven by fully licensed human drivers. According to the company’s contract with Orlando’s Downtown CRA, drivers would be employed by Circuit Transit and paid no less than a “living wage” of $15 an hour minimum. Tips for drivers would be appreciated and accepted, but not required.
The city is eyeing an initial one-year term for the program, with the option of renewing the program for two one-year terms. If approved by the CRA, the program would launch within 30 days of the effective date of their agreement with Circuit. A city spokesperson confirmed they anticipate the program would launch sometime this fall, if approved.

This post has been updated to clarify that the shuttle charge in West Palm Beach depends both on where you are headed and the number of passengers.

PVRadar offers solar project risk assessments factoring in historical climate data – pv magazine International

PVRadar Labs has expanded its software platform to include PV project risk assessment functionality, reportedly enabling more realistic performance estimates based on historical climate data.
Image: PVRADAR
PVRadar Labs, a Germany-based software company, has expanded the functionality of its PVRadar software platform, adding the ability to model utility-scale project performance using climate data, in addition to soiling and cleaning optimization.
“By using PVRadar developers can do a proper risk assessment to factor in snow losses, soiling, or albedo effects. It is especially useful for European or US-based developers who are entering new geographic markets because the climate data is global,” PVRadar Labs co-founder and CEO, Thore Müller, told pv magazine.
“Originally, the software was set up to optimize PV module cleaning costs at the early stage of planning, but we found that many of our clients struggled to correctly determine loss factors for yield estimation. Usually they use simple tools, like excel spreadsheets, but there is a clear need for accurate prediction based on historic conditions, such as rainfall, snowfall, and particulate matter, for example.”
PVRadar provides historical climate data going back 20 years. It is based on geographical information system (GIS) sources, as well as national weather databases, if available. “We saw that for some project inputs, there is verifiable data available to developers, such as the price of the modules supplied by manufacturers, or the performance attributes supplied by testing labs. But it was not so with climate-related effects and loss factors. Therefore, all too often project developers rely on generalized assumptions, for example assuming a flat 2% soiling loss, which in many dry areas has no relation to reality,” said Müller.
The platform is complementary to internal workflows and commercially available design tools, such as PVCase, PVFarm, PVDesign, or PVSyst. It provides users with realistic loss factor inputs, according to Müller.
Access to the platform comes in two variations, either a single project license or a corporate subscription for unlimited projects. “We have twelve project development companies using the platform for multiple projects. That is because developers are usually assessing a lot more sites than they end up developing. It could be ten designs for every project that gets built,” Franco Clandestino, co-founder and head of product, told pv magazine.
Looking ahead, the team is working on additional risk assessment tools. “We will be continuously adding more models, for example, for the degradation rate, and we will also allow users to create their own models and feed them from our database,” said Müller.

AG Tong talks lawsuits addressing issues ranging from climate change to online safety – Hartford Business Journal

In a wide-ranging interview Wednesday night, Attorney General William Tong discussed litigation addressing issues ranging from climate change to online safety, putting an emphasis on his relationships with fellow attorneys general in crafting those lawsuits.
His frequent collaboration with other states was a theme that ran through his discussion with events host John Dankosky in the third installment of The Connecticut Mirror’s “In the Room” event series.
Tong said he is aware of the criticisms he has received about consistently involving Connecticut in multistate lawsuits. But, he says, his response to those critiques would be: “Which ones do you want me to sit out?”
Tong touched on a range of litigation during the conversation at the University of Connecticut’s Stamford campus, including consumer lawsuits against ExxonMobil and LiveNation and a child protection suit against Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.
Both the Meta lawsuit, which accuses the company of violating trade-practice and child protection laws, and the Live Nation lawsuit, which claims the company exercises monopoly power in violation of antitrust laws, were filed by dozens of states, including Connecticut.
That coordination is necessary, Tong said, because no attorney general can work on the litigation alone. And, he argued, the issues raised are important to Connecticut.
“Do you want me to take a pass on the fight against Meta and TikTok to protect our kids? You want me to sit out and not file a case against ExxonMobil? You want me to take a pass on the antitrust cases against Google and Amazon and Apple?” Tong said. “I don’t think we can because… this is Connecticut business. Right? This affects all of us.”
Tong, who represented Stamford in the state House for over a decade before being elected attorney general in 2018, said serving as Connecticut’s chief legal officer is not so different from being a member of the General Assembly. He argued that his legislative skills and experience play a role in his negotiations with other attorneys general.
He pointed to his ability to work with Republican attorneys general, like Ken Paxton of Texas and Kris Kobach of Kansas, saying they’ve “done a lot of important, multistate business together” despite their political differences.
Conversations around bipartisanship are not new to CT Mirror’s “In the Room” series. In its kick-off on March 28, U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy delved into his emerging role as a negotiator and the thorny debate over compromise and working across the aisle.
Similar to Tong, Murphy said elected officials must work with lawmakers to find common ground on certain issues. But he also argued for turning to voting when those political and policy differences are insurmountable.
“I think there are moments where you need to put down your swords and try to find a compromise. I think there are some irreconcilable differences in which the ballot box is your only means of redress,” Murphy said. “I don’t think it’s either-or. I think you have to be doing both.”
And the country’s attorneys general are not immune to the “irreconcilable differences” that Murphy referred to. On May 22, 19 Republican attorneys general petitioned the Supreme Court to block several states, including Connecticut, from pursuing litigation against ExxonMobil and other major oil and gas companies.
Tong’s lawsuit, and those of other states, allege Exxon knew for decades that their products contributed to the emissions that caused climate change, but hid that from the public.
Tong called the Republicans’ petition “ridiculous and absurd” and said he expects the Supreme Court to dismiss it.
Another recent initiative Tong has undertaken involves the rising price of groceries.
He announced last month that his office is seeking detailed cost and profit information from retail grocers in the state in an effort to determine whether their business practices are partly to blame for persistent elevated prices of food staples.
Tong said at the time that he was prompted to pursue the inquiry after a Federal Trade Commission report, released last month, found that major grocery chain profits “rose and remain elevated” in the wake of pandemic-induced disruptions to food supply chains — even after those disruptions appeared to have eased.
“We’re all concerned about inflation,” Tong said. “We all know that the cost of food is going up, and the cost of groceries is going up. And we all feel it.”
Tong is no stranger to conversations about food: He spent part of the discussion talking about his childhood growing up as the son of two immigrants who worked seven days a week operating a Chinese restaurant in Wethersfield.
He recalled his father’s checkered pants and chef’s smock splattered with soy sauce and oil, as well as the distinctive sights, smells and sounds from hours spent working in the restaurant’s hot kitchen.
But it wasn’t the sight of his father that Tong remembers most vividly.
“It was the smell of 12, 15 hours of caked-in, baked-in Chinese food,” Tong said. “And I looked forward to that. And I can still smell it.”
Tong said his upbringing taught him about the struggles faced by working people and small business owners. But, he said, it also proved that the son of immigrants could grow up to become a state constitutional officer.
“I think we know that that only happens in one place in this world, and that’s in this country,” he said to applause.

Climate denial group wants to subvert NOAA data with its own – E&E News by POLITICO

The Heartland Institute seeks to build a nationwide network of temperature-monitoring stations.

A prominent climate disinformation group is building its own network of temperature sensors across the United States in an attempt to disprove that the country and planet are warming at an unprecedented pace due to human-caused climate change.
The Illinois-based Heartland Institute, along with other groups that spread climate falsehoods, has spent years attacking the temperature data gathered by NOAA. That data, widely used by scientific organizations around the world, helped lead to the conclusion that 2023 was the “warmest year since global records began” and that the 10 warmest years in recorded history have all occurred since 2014.
It’s powerful proof that global warming is more than a distant threat — it’s affecting the planet right now. As a result, that data has been targeted by groups seeking to downplay the severity of climate change or cast doubt on the science.
Heartland calls its station network the Global Open Atmospheric Temperature Systems, or GOATS for short. The sensors cost $2,000 apiece to set up, and Heartland has been pitching its followers to donate so more stations can be built throughout the country. The group plans to build hundreds of “properly located” sensors in order to collect “unbiased temperature data.”
The Heartland Institute did not respond to multiple attempts by an E&E News reporter to learn more about the sensors, how they would function or where they would be stationed. The network’s existence was revealed in at least two emails that the Heartland Institute sent to followers.
At least one station has been installed, according to one of the emails. It is not clear where the sensor is located.
The effort is spearheaded by Anthony Watts, a meteorologist and senior fellow at Heartland. Watts long has downplayed climate science findings and has spent years attacking the NOAA data temperature network in particular — claiming that it has been corrupted by the heat island effect.
That’s the phenomenon in which urban centers experience higher temperatures than surrounding areas because “structures such as buildings, roads, and other infrastructure absorb and re-emit the sun’s heat more than natural landscapes,” according to EPA.
Some NOAA data sensors are in cities. Watts has claimed that makes their temperature readings artificially higher.
In reality, scientists have long known about the heat island effect, and the variable has been accounted for in the data collection, said Gavin Schmidt, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
There is no larger concern among climate scientists that the data is faulty, he said — and if there were mistakes, they would have been corrected. He added that in 2005, federal researchers began using a second system called the U.S. Climate Reference Network to collect more data from a wider variety of sites.
“It’s just Anthony Watts. It’s one guy who keeps repeating himself every decade,” said Schmidt, who is a climate modeler. “I mean, it’s like he has one talking point, and he keeps talking about it. Almost nobody else is talking about it.”
Watts did not return two requests for comment.
As the science of climate change has become more clear to a majority of Americans, the tactics of those unwilling or unmotivated to accept the findings has shifted. Fossil fuel allies and groups that oppose regulations are less likely to directly deny climate science, but rather claim that global warming is not as serious or as much of a threat as scientists have found.
Attacking the instruments that gather climate data or the models that project global warming is commonplace for those who want to continue or expand fossil fuel use. The Heartland Institute claims that temperature data is the “empirical bedrock on which the radical left’s agenda is built.”
“Climate change is the excuse given for ESG scores, carbon taxes, the Green New Deal, and all other forms of economic destruction,” the group wrote in a note to prospective donors for the effort. “The public must have easy access to comparable scientific data that directly dispute the left’s claim of impending environmental disaster.”
The Heartland Institute, which now hides its donors, previously has received millions of dollars in funding from the fossil fuel industry as well as from prominent conservative groups and individuals.
That includes the Mercer Family Foundation, which backs other efforts that attack climate science.
Hedge fund manager Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah also supported former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. The Mercer family backed away from supporting Trump in 2020 but have returned to his side in the 2024 campaign, co-hosting a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser that pulled in more than $50 million for Trump last month.
Trump’s conservative allies want to see NOAA “broken up and downsized” as part of a broader effort to unwind the Biden administration’s “climate fanaticism.” In March, Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah called for “increased federal oversight” of NOAA data, citing Watts’ erroneous claims that federal temperature data stations were being corrupted to make climate change appear more serious.
There is no conspiratorial cover-up among hundreds of federal climate scientists, said Schmidt of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
Instead, he said Heartland and Watts might be surprised to learn that their additional temperature stations — as long as the data is properly gathered and open — could be useful to NOAA’s existing cooperative data network.
“If they want to join the cooperative network, it’s a cooperative network, right?” he said. “And anybody can host a station and do what they want with it, and it can go into the hopper. And I’m sure that NOAA will say, ‘That’s great, let’s make sure all your data is open so that we can access it.’”

Thailand Eco-Cars Fare Poorly in J.D. Power Study – Ward's Auto

The research firm also finds the number of initial-quality complaints drops when dealers better explain the new cars’ features to their owners.
December 11, 2012
The quality of vehicles produced under Thailand’s eco-car program is lower than in other vehicle segments, and J.D. Power Asia Pacific says it’s essential auto makers quickly identify and fix the core quality issues reported by the new owners.
The research firm also finds the number of complaints drops when dealers do a better job of explaining the new cars to their owners.
Initial quality in the compact-car segment, which includes hatchbacks produced under the government-sponsored eco-car program, averages 132 problems experienced per 100 vehicles, the highest number reported among all vehicle segments examined in the study.
Overall initial quality of Thai-built vehicles averages 116 pp100 vehicles this year, compared with 113 in 2011.
The study measures problems owners experience with their new vehicle during the first two to six months of ownership and examines more than 200 problem symptoms covering eight categories.
These categories, listed in order of frequency of reported problems, are vehicle exterior; engine and transmission; driving experience; heating and air conditioning; audio, entertainment and navigation; vehicle interior; seats; and features, controls and displays.
The Thailand Initial Quality Study conducted by J.D. Power’s Singapore operation, is based on evaluations by 4,674 owners who purchased their new vehicle between October 2011 and July 2012. The survey covers 13 makes that include 77 car, pickup-truck and utility-vehicle models.
J.D. Power Singapore Senior Manager Loic Pean says small hatchback models are gaining popularity in Thailand, boosted by the success of the government-sponsored eco-car program and first-time new-buyer incentives.
“Given the growing sales of compact cars, it is important for manufacturers to deliver the same levels of build quality offered in the other vehicle segments,” Pean says. “It is, therefore, essential to quickly identify and fix the core quality issues reported by new owners of small hatchbacks.”
Problems cited most often by owners of small hatchbacks involved excessive wind noise and noisy brakes, followed by excessive fan-blower noise and air-conditioning failing to cool the cabin quickly enough and unusual transmission noises.
J.D. Power says the survey shows that when a salesperson explains how to operate features in the vehicle before or at the time of purchase, owners report fewer initial- quality problems.
On average, owners given an explanation of their vehicle’s features experience 114 pp100 vehicles, compared with 165 by those who do not receive the information – a 45% increase.
“Salespeople play an important role in managing vehicle-owner expectations and reducing owner perceptions of quality issues during the buying process, particularly for first-time buyers,” Pean says.
J.D. Power says vehicle problems, particularly those experienced during the initial ownership period, lead not only to increased owner dissatisfaction but also to lower levels of customer loyalty and advocacy.
Owners who experience an initial quality problem are much less likely to re-purchase or recommend the same make, compared with those who do not experience such a problem.
Among owners indicating they experienced no problems with their new vehicle, 67% say they definitely would purchase the same make again, compared with 55% among those who experienced one or more problems.
Results by segment:
Compact car: Honda Brio ranks the best with 116 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Suzuki Swift Eco (118 pp100) and Nissan March (129).
Entry-level midsize car: Honda Jazz (87), Mazda2 Sports (95), Toyota Vios (98).
Midsize car: Toyota Prius (65), Honda Civic (98), Toyota Corolla Altis (105).
SUV: Toyota Fortuner (87), Chevrolet Captiva (121), Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (140).
Single-cab pickup: Isuzu D-Max Spark (86), Mitsubishi Triton S-Cab (103), Toyota Hilux Vigo Champ S-Cab (116).
Extended-cab pickup: Toyota Hilux Vigo Champ Prerunner Smart Cab (89), followed by Mitsubishi Triton X-Cab (116) and Nissan Frontier Navara Calibre X-Cab (117).
Double-cab pickup: Toyota Hilux Vigo Champ Prerunner (96), Isuzu D-Max Cab-4/ V-Cross 4 door (101), Toyota Hilux Vigo Champ D-Cab (119).
