Environmental Through operational efficiency, strategic capital planning and data monitoring, we continue to improve our portfolio’s overall performance. These efforts are critical to our sustainable business strategy, mitigating climate risk and reducing utility costs, one of our largest operating expenses. In turn, our tenants, hospital system partners and shareholders benefit from cost savings and higher-performing properties. PARTNERS As a proud ENERGY STAR® partner since 2004, 98% of our managed buildings were benchmarked in ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® in 2020. Since 2015, we have partnered with Mechanical Resource Group (MRG) to install EnergyLogiX real-time electricity monitoring technology in buildings throughout our portfolio. In 2019, we partnered with Black Bear Energy to identify opportunities to incorporate renewable energy initiatives in our portfolio. In 2020, we began using Measurabl’s sustainability platform to expand collection, management, benchmarking, and reporting of environmental data and efficiency projects. Measurabl is also used to identify and understand the physical climate risks in our portfolio. ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS(1) (Click the image to enlarge) (1) Healthcare Realty’s 2020 data was impacted by reduced utilization due to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during March and April. While all of our buildings remained open and operational throughout 2020, lower foot traffic and utilization reduced water consumption, energy utilization and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Compared to general office buildings, most medical office buildings saw a faster rebound in utilization and resource consumption. Consumption has normalized in 2021. (2) Year-over-year energy, GHG and water comparisons include 158 managed properties totaling 12.5M SF with data coverage. This includes properties owned since January 2019 and excludes redevelopment projects, assets held for sale and dispositions. (3) Baseline includes properties owned since January 2016 and excludes redevelopment projects, assets held for sale and dispositions. Energy and GHG baselines include 121 managed properties totaling 9.7M SF with energy data coverage. Water baseline includes 122 managed properties totaling 9.8M SF with water data coverage. The Company will report on a water reduction goal in 2022. SUSTAINABILITY CAPITAL INVESTMENTS In 2020, Healthcare Realty invested $12 million on more than 200 efficiency projects throughout its portfolio including HVAC updates and replacements, reflective roofing, real-time metering, LED lighting, energy management systems, drip irrigation, and drought-resistant landscaping.
