Documents

The first call of the Owners & Tenants working group took place on Thursday, April 29, 2010 from 2:00pm - 3:00pm EST.
Review the Overview of the Owners &Tenants working group.

 

Draft Scope

The Owners & Tenants Working Group addresses split incentives by exploring alternative leasing provisions and streamlining development and permitting provisions.  Developing the business case and stakeholder outreach and education, may be included.

  • EE in green leases and green construction
  • What is the necessary approach to help structure this group’s activities?
  • Is this a one-time near-term set of solutions?  Are there fundamental differences between 20% savings and 80% savings?
  • Leases with flexibility and more tolerance for more complex systems and varying building conditions—more active engagement of tenants as contributors to building performance
  • Communications, education, and engagement of tenants and occupants
