In Marlon Kobacker's most recent publication, "Removing the Capital Cost Barrier to Sustainable Building Design," the sustainability expert details specific techniques to remove capital cost barriers preventing projects from reaching the low-carbon performance aspirations of the 2015 Paris Agreement. While detailing how capital costs effectively create an obstacle to the implementation of low-carbon initiatives, Mr. Kobacker discusses the implications of failing to implement them on an industry-wide scale. The internationally renowned sustainability expert then outlines specific techniques to reduce and even eliminate capital costs typically associated with green building techniques, including a revolutionary finance approach that utilises operational cost savings to offset finance payments, creating a cash flow positive solution to achieving ultra low-carbon performance.
