What is RPI?
Economic results alone do not always consider best practices when it comes to contributing to society or protecting the environment, and, hence, the field known as Responsible Property Investing (RPI) based on sustainable real estate practices has emerged.
Although green building pragrams including USGBC LEED are great, RPI covers multiple social and environmental dimensions of real estate investment per the principles of the Responsible Property Investing Center (http://www.responsibleproperty.net) which include:
-
Smart Growth - focusing on integrated, walkable communities
-
Community Development - focused on community outreach and workforce training
-
Urban Revitalization - focused on infill, distressed and brownfield development
-
Conservation - focus on limiting environmental impacts, preserving natural resources
-
Well-Being - focus on environments that are safe for all potential occupants
-
Health and Safety - focus on keep projects safe, help preventing future accidents
-
Local Citizenship - focus on improving aesthetics, preserving neighborhood value
-
Corporate Citizenship - focus on best practices, Certifications, and Reporting
