Martin Bester, managing director of the company explains that Intersect’s Go-Green! team will work in conjunction with the body corporate and its buildings' occupants and service providers to align the buildings' environmental performance to the applicable Green Star rating tool (if certified), and the memorandum of understanding (MOU) into which it enters.
“Once a Green Star-rated building has either been developed or retrofitted with energy efficient systems and along carbon footprint-reducing lines, the building must be managed to ensure sustainability and maximum benefit of the infrastructure and measures put in place.”
“Property management therefore plays a key role in reducing a building's carbon footprint, and Intersect is the first property management company to launch a green management option to the sectional title market in South Africa,” says Bester.
“Of course, the success of such initiatives relies on the cooperation of all stakeholders within the building, including the management team, staff, service providers and occupants. Intersect's Go-Green! offering seeks to resolve the management aspect and to guide the rest of the stakeholders to achieve the environmental performance goals of the relevant Green Star rating tool and as set out in the MOU.”
