The commercial real estate sector is at a pivotal moment. Building owners are faced with meeting stringent performance-based energy codes and standards on top of the challenging post-COVID market shifts. More and more office tenants have aggressive decarbonization and sustainability goals, such as Net Zero. Additionally, owners and tenants alike have a variety of reporting requirements to satisfy investor requests, regulatory compliance, and certifications.

Join Building Energy Exchange for a presentation and expert panel discussion on driving decarbonization in leased office spaces by prioritizing energy savings and emissions reductions strategies at key stages of the commercial tenant leasing cycle. An interdisciplinary panel of thought-leaders will share how building owners, tenants, and legal representatives can change business-as-usual to create more sustainable, efficient, and healthy workplaces that meet local and state regulations.

This event will highlight the release of best practices and leading solutions from the Decarbonizing New York City Offices initiative, designed to help decision-makers achieve emissions savings, implement forward-thinking leasing practices, and generate win-win outcomes for both tenants and owners in commercial real estate.
