Leasing & Tenant Build-out

LBA Realty developed a Sustainability-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering for its tenants to help lower their operating costs and improve building health, all while providing building performance data to LBA.

This resource provides an overview of TEOP and Green Lease Leaders, highlighting how the two programs can work together to offer a robust roadmap for landlord-tenant energy efficiency achievements.

Performance-based leases introduce provisions intended to promote deep energy retrofits and other energy efficiency measures by balancing costs and benefits between landlords and tenants. This document provides a high-level look at key provisions in IMT’s model performance-based lease template, and is part of a performance-based leasing toolkit.

This model performance-based lease template seeks to balance the cost and benefits between landlords and tenants to pursue deep energy retrofits in commercial buildings. It is part of a performance-based leasing toolkit, the whole of which can be accessed at imt.org/performance-based leasing.

This webinar covered specific smart leasing strategies that can help buildings drive down energy use and emissions to comply with state and local building policy.

This course explains how once-niche green concepts are evolving into high-performance standards across office, retail, and industrial segments, and how leading property owners incorporate energy efficiency and broader sustainability elements into their operational and investment decisions.

The Tower Companies updated its standard lease agreements to include a green appendix that 100% of new and renewed tenants accepted, supporting efforts to reduce energy and water use across its commercial portfolio.

Building owners can use these best practices, developed in conjunction with an industry advisory group, to implement green leasing language throughout their portfolio. They offer guidance on establishing goals, tracking progress, and engaging with brokers and tenants.

The tenant improvement period offers a great opportunity to build energy efficiency into a tenant space. This fact sheet for large office leases provides guidance on how your property teams, leasing agents, and brokers can communicate the value of considering energy efficiency during tenant improvements.

This fact sheet for small office leases provides guidance on how property teams, leasing agents, and brokers can communicate the value of considering energy efficiency during tenant improvements to reduce occupancy costs and ensure a healthy environment for employees.

The Green Lease Library is a centralized site for commercial green leasing resources. The Green Lease Leaders recognition program was created with support from the U.S. Department of Energy and other Green Lease Library and contributing organizations. For more information on the program, visit www.greenleaseleaders.com.

Hear from multifamily organizations about their experiences leveraging green leases to engage commercial tenants in their energy efficiency goals. You will learn about resources from DOE’s Green Lease Leaders program and the Urban Land Institute that can help your company pursue high-performance status for your multifamily properties. 

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab created an integrated systems package (ISP) for achieving deeper energy savings during tenant fit-out in existing commercial buildings. The ISP includes a checklist, specifications, and procedures for LED lighting and dimming controls, HVAC controls, plug load controls, and energy monitoring.
