This paper shows the highly significant effect of the level of sustainability on the transaction price of office buildings in the Dutch market, based on 406 office transactions from the years 2013 to 2018. It demonstrates that there is a significant effect of energy efficiency on realized transaction prices. Using data provided by Cushman & Wakefield, the statistical analysis indicates that investors rationally or irrationally take sustainability into account when investing in offices during the period of 2013 till 2018. It indicates a decrease in transaction price of 35% when the energy index of an office building increases with one unit. date: 2018 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: VG tutors_name: Liu, Xiaolong tutors_name: Daams, Michiel keywords_local: Office transactions keywords_local: Energy efficiency keywords_local: Office buildings keywords_local: Sustainability keywords_local: Dutch office market language_iso: en titleorder: Effect of sustainability on Dutch office asset value dbi: 5c497e3f6ca6f imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ma/VG/2018/rstrotmann/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132455-5c497e3f6ca6f.xml date_issued: 2018-01-01 citation: Strotmann, Roeland (2018) The Effect of sustainability on Dutch office asset value.
