Landlord-Tenant Energy Assessment

Let's Get Started

Do you currently track your building energy use?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Have you assessed current energy demand through an energy audit? This process calculates current energy consumption and zeros in on specific areas within a building that are ripe for energy efficiency improvements.

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Do you manage your energy data in excel spreadsheets or is it automated in a formal system such as an energy management information system (EMIS)?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Third-party consultant

Do you have a site selection policy that considers the impact the building has on the surrounding environment, building efficiency, mass transit and occupant health? Criteria can include, but not limited to; energy performance, waste, water, or indoor air quality.

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Have you adopted energy efficiency build-out standards that improve day-to-day operations and save money?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Have you implemented operational best practices to improve HVAC, lighting, and indoor air quality?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Do you have any water or energy efficiency clauses in your current lease(s)?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Do you have processes that establish internal stakeholder buy-in on efficiency projects? Buy-in could represent gaining approval to fund an efficiency program, or gain trust and a partner from another department needed to implement an efficiency project.

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Do you currently have a process to train staff and external vendors to maintain and operate an efficient building or tenant space?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Do you currently have tools that educate and empower occupants to adopt energy efficiency habits that can significantly lower whole-building energy use? These tools may include simple how-to guides to reducing daily energy consumption.

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Do you currently have an internal measurement and verification process that verifies that installed equipment is achieving projected savings over time?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Do you currently have best practices in place that monitor and manage your building’s equipment performance and operational efficiency on an ongoing basis?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Have you or the finance team used alternative internal financing solutions such as expedited approval process, internal carbon pricing, capital investment fund, or revolving loan, to fund efficiency projects outside of traditional capital expenditures (CAPEX) requirements?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Are rebate and incentive programs, offered by local utility providers, utilized to fund energy efficiency projects?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Have you explored recognition programs such as the Green Lease Leaders, ENERGY STAR or ENERGY STAR for Tenant Spaces, LEED, WELL, or Fitwel?

Yes.
No, but I’m interested in learning more.
No, I’m not interested in this.
I’m not sure.

Why not?

Please indicate which of the following programs you have explored (check all that apply)

Green Lease Leaders
ENERGY STAR or ENERGY STAR for Tenant Spaces
