Spurring Efficiency in Cleveland Businesses and City Buildings
With a green, high-performance lease, landlords and tenants can better work together to save billions of dollars and lock in smarter, more efficient operation of buildings. Since its inception in 2014, IMT and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Better Buildings Alliance’ Green Lease Leaders recognition program has grown to include firms that represent more than 2 billion square feet of building space—a clear indication that green leasing is no longer considered an exception, rather it is becoming best practice across real estate markets.
As building efficiency efforts have progressed to more advanced holistic approaches to meet ambitious climate and sustainability goals, green leases have evolved as well. In the newest edition of IMT and the DOE’s Better Buildings Alliance’s case study series, we shine a spotlight on 2019’s Green Lease Leaders that are using the lease to not only overcome split incentives but also create lasting public-private partnerships to advance city-wide energy action plans and business sustainability goals.
