BOMA BCYear in Review 2014

2014WAS ANOTHER BUSY AND EXCITING YEAR for thecommercial real estate market and BOMA BC. Within the downtowncore there are currently eight projects underway totaling 2.2 million

s.f. that will complete between 2015 and 2017. The window for a buildingdevelopment cycle is relatively short and carries significant risk if the developermistimes the market. Preleasing activity has been strong for the first of the projectslaunched and Vancouver will see Amazon, Sony Image Works and Microsoft all enteror grow in our city. While it remains to be seen how the latter projects will fair, we areoptimistic that the technology and LNG sectors will be drivers of new office demand,to offset sluggish mining and professional service sectors.

New developments will raise the bar for our office market and push the owners ofexisting buildings to achieve greater energy efficiency, occupancy comfort andimproved tenant services and amenities. BOMA BC is committed to providingleadership and direction to our industry in all aspects of building performance and thisis reflected in some of our achievements in 2014:

• Our partnership with BC Hydro PowerSmart for energy management services(BOMA E.M.P.) has been extended to 2015 and provides BOMA with a steptowards a one-stop shop for our members’ building energy needs.

• The City of Vancouver has accepted BOMA BESt Levels 1–4 certified buildingsto be exempted from energy retrofit requirements for upgrade/alteration permits toexisting buildings. The new City bylaw is effective January 2015.

• BOMA BC completed our contract with the Province (Ministry of Environment)to install 125 electrical vehicle charging stations within member buildingsthroughout BC. Minister Polak applauded BOMA for its success in exceeding thetarget, on time and under budget.

• As part of our long term organizational strategy, BOMA BC created a newDirector of Government Affairs and Communications position to ensure a strongvoice for our industry when engaging with municipal, regional and provincialgovernments. We welcome Muneesh Sharma to the team.

These are a few highlights beyond our normal programs and services BOMA provideseach year to the membership. Our annual audit confirms again that your Associationcontinues to be fiscally strong, efficient and effective. Your Board of Directors lookforward to another great year in 2015 as we strive to achieve new goals. We hope youenjoy this Year in Review report and thank all of our members, volunteers, sponsorsand staff for their contributions in 2014. Our industry is stronger by association. �

Taxation Report

BOMA’s TAXATION COMMITTEE has been carefullyfollowing municipal tax structures and specifically, the Cityof Vancouver, as staff work towards implementing the

recommendations of the Property Tax Review Commission(PTRC). BOMA’s Taxation Chair, Paul Sullivan, reports thatthere is concern when a property’s land value exceeds itsexisting use. The unfortunate outcome of that situation is thatcommercial tax rates, which are approximately 4.5 timesresidential tax rates, are applied to this residential land valueunder community retail properties.

In a recent court case involving the property tax agency ofBurgess Cawley Sullivan and Associates, the PropertyAssessment Appeal Board was convinced to apply residentialtax rates to the unbuilt residential density above the lowdensity commercial properties. This application is known as‘split assessments’. The decision is under appeal. Although thePTRC supported split assessments, the City of Vancouver ispursuing an alternate option, which proposes to implementfive year land averaging with a threshold.

Three year land averaging has existed for over 20 years, butcan be confusing. Its original intent was to soften the impact ofproperty tax increases to downtown properties because of hugeland value increases by BC Assessment. This worked wellwhile land values were increasing but does not work when theybegin to decline. The new five year averaging approach will beapplied only to those properties where the increase in value isabove a prescribed threshold level. This change could makepredicting tax budgets more difficult and may be inadequatebecause the increase in value over the past five years, forexample, has been dramatic.

BOMA feels land averaging does not consider the outcomewith changing market conditions which are outside of theCity’s control. Some office towers may be subsidizing others asa result of this policy. It is for this reason that the BOMA TaxCommittee does not recommend the policy of land averagingand prefers a tax distribution system based on market forces.BOMA will continue to work with the City of Vancouver andother municipalities to advocate on your behalf with regard tothese and other important tax policies. �

Emergency Task Force

BOMA’s EMERGENCY TASK FORCE COMMITTEEfocus for this year was to research and provide advice tothe Board of Directors on the best options for an

emergency response management system which would keepmembers apprised in emergency situations, natural disasters oranything that could impede their economic operation andstability.

The committee researched a variety of notificationssystems and ultimately decided to support the ERMS system,primarily because it is a Canadian company, sanctioned bythe Government of Canada, which is not subject to the USPatriotic Act, but also because of the system’s functionality.Endorsements of our plan were received from the AssistantDeputy Minister, Emergency Management BC, and from theDirector of Emergency Services at the City of Vancouver.BOMA staff also met with the Real Estate Foundation of BCand applied for a grant funding opportunity to support theimplementation of this critical communicationsinfrastructure. We are hopeful that this new system, oncefully developed, will help our members connect in real timeto important information regarding the safety of our tenants.

The committee also researched security and life safetycertifications for members. This designation may enable ourmembers to further their credentials and use their skills tomake our buildings safer. �

BOMA SPENT THE YEAR building on past successes and beginning newconnections with government. In June 2014 BOMA introduced our new

Director of Government Affairs, Muneesh Sharma. Muneesh brings to BOMAextensive government relations experience and will lead BOMA forward as the‘voice of the commercial real estate industry’.

BOMA BC President Rob Kavanagh, 1st VP Susan Dodsworth, Executive VP Paul LaBranche andDirector of Government Affairs Muneesh Sharma, with BC Premier Christy Clark.

BOMA continued its advocacy for a pro-active, pragmatic, butvoluntary approach, to transforming the commercial buildingsindustry towards energy efficiency and environmentalresponsibility. In 2014, BOMA worked in close collaborationwith the Provincial Government and BC Hydro and otherutilities to provide direct hands on services and incentives,such as the Electric Vehicle Charging Station funding, to assistthe BOMA membership. BOMA conceptualized a plan forexpanding our services to assist with building performanceusing a holistic approach to building and environmentalmanagement. BOMA has had informative meetings withsenior officials from the Ministry of Environment to determinethe potential for more collaboration and financial support.

BOMA achieved a major success in 2014 in influencing City of Vancouver bylaws.As part of the City of Vancouver’s Greenest City 2020 Action Plan, the Cityintroduced Canada’s first energy code/bylaw for existing buildings classified as Part 3and Part 9 non-residential. The new bylaw requirements were added to the existingupgrade mechanism process used in Part 11 for Life Safety, Structural, andAccessibility. The 2020 energy reduction target for existing larger buildings is toreduce greenhouse gas emissions to 20% below 2007 levels. The Vancouver BuildingBy-Law (VBBL) 10908 came into effect on January 1, 2015 and now requires all

government affairs

building permit applications for alterations to existing buildings to follow an energyupgrade trigger process. Upon learning of the City’s decision to regulate energyconservation, BOMA BC met with City officials to ensure a reasonably flexible andpragmatic approach was developed to implement this bylaw. We are pleased to reportthat the bylaw has incorporated the BOMA BESt environmental certificationprogram as one option for achieving permit requirements.

BOMA BC worked closely with theCoalition of BC Businesses to foster astrong provincial economy. BOMAparticipated in many meetings with bothpolitical staff and elected representativesand worked closely with Hon. ShirleyBond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism, Skills,and Minister Responsible for Labour, toensure the success of our industry and inparticular the small business interest ofour building tenants.

BOMA met with Metro Vancouver and stakeholder wastemanagement companies to discuss their perspectives on MetroVancouver plans for waste disposal. BOMA discussed withMinistry of Environment officials the identified concerns withthe Metro Plan as they contemplated approving MetroVancouver’s controversial Bylaw 280. The Minister ofEnvironment, Hon. Mary Polak, advised BOMA of theirdecision not to approve the bylaw at this time but instead stepback to review and consult again with affected industries. As afollow-up, BOMA met with MLA Marvin Hunt, who wastasked to review the bylaw and make recommendations to theMinister, to inform him of our position that any new wastemanagement bylaw be cost-effective, fair, and achieve higherwaste diversion rates through the use of new technologywhen appropriate.

Metro Vancouver also implemented an organics ban,requiring residents to separate food scraps from regular garbageas part of the region’s Integrated Solid Waste and ResourceManagement Plan. BOMA kept members apprised of thechanges and held information sessions to assist withimplementation.

BOMA expects many new issues to emerge throughout 2015 and is committed toensuring the interests of the commercial buildings industry remains strong. �

Energy Management Program

YEAR 2014 was another success for the Energy Management Program (EMP).The EMP assisted members with energy efficiency projects that saved over 1.25GWh of energy and over $140,000 of avoided utility costs. We saw members

granted almost $130,000 of incentive money from utilities because of these projects.The EMP team’s ultimate goal is to provide assistance and support to BOMA BCmembers with their energy management and sustainability initiatives. They areconstantly involved with municipal, provincial, federal, and in a few cases,international sustainability initiatives. The focus is on ensuring the industry'sconcerns are well represented and heard by all levels of government.

The EMP team also supports the following programs that are offered to members at a discount:

BOMA BESt: This assessment and certification program is the only oneof its kind for commercial buildings in Canada. It is a unique, voluntary,national program designed to assess environmental performance andmanagement of existing buildings. The program provides a consistentframework for owners and managers to critically assess six key areas ofenvironmental performance and management: Energy, Water, WasteReduction and Site, Emissions and Effluents, Indoor Environment, andEnvironmental Management System. See page 10 for full report.

BOMA uTrack: Developed and powered by PUMA (PrismEngineering), this utility monitoring system has helpednumerous business owners and property managers withtracking and analyzing their energy consumption and

greenhouse gas emissions. Participating members are now able to better understandtheir building portfolio electrical and gas consumption, identify conservation projectsand track the success of these projects.

e-Energy Training: Since 2009, this interactive online energymanagement training program has taught building operationspersonnel how to easily identify energy reduction opportunities andbetter understand energy conservation principals. The course also

educates students on how to develop strategies to encourage stakeholders to saveenergy. This self-paced online course provides building operators, engineers, andmanagers with a refreshed set of skills and knowledge to identify and act on energyreduction opportunities.

Total Waste Management (TWM): Since 2010, BOMA BC haspartnered with Urban Impact to provide BOMA members with aTotal Waste Management (TWM) Program, a one-stop, cost-effective recycling service. They are equipped to provide customsolutions to meet all BOMA members’ recycling needs. The services

offered by Urban Impact include… paper, cardboard, mixed containers, batteries,electronics and organics. In addition, Urban Impact can provide a comprehensivewaste audit to help identify and improve current waste practices.

Energy & Environment Committee

THE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT (E&E) COMMITTEE supportsmembers with the development and delivery of initiatives related to energyefficiency and sustainability, and acts as an advisory resource to the Board of

Directors on environmental related issues. Core to the committee’s responsibility isbeing up-to-date on industry trends, news, and regulatory information relating broadlyto energy, sustainability and the environment, and ensuring that expertise andexperience on these matters are available to BOMA BC and its membership. Importantinformation is shared on an ongoing basis through BOMA BC’s website, in the BOMAEnergy eXpress Newsletter (BeX) and via email communications. In addition, thecommittee works with other BOMA BC committees on the creation and delivery ofeducational events, awareness campaigns, and other programs as needed.

Over the past year the committee completed research activities with themembership to better understand how BOMA BC and the E&E Committee canassist member organizations to make the right decisions in the areas of energy andenvironment. It was identified that members wanted to seemore information sharing, through case studies and similardocuments, that outlined energy efficiency and environmentalprojects, giving them insight into benefits, paybacks, and issuesto avoid, all which would assist with their own initiatives. Itwas also found that members wanted to participate inawareness campaigns (eg: Sweater Day, Earth Hour) and thatsome members needed additional assistance with how to bestimplement these events at their respective facilities. Thecommittee also acts as an advisory committee to the Board ofDirectors and over the past year has reviewed and givenrecommendations to the Board on numerous topics (Bylaw280, VBBL amendments, Bird Friendly Strategy).

As members in Metro Vancouver face new challenges inimplementing organics programs, and update their action plansfor the new City of Vancouver energy related by-laws, thecommittee will continue to develop resources to assist withbest practices around these regulatory changes. �
