  1. Tenant Energy Performance in Commercial Office Buildings NRDC Center for Market Innovation

  2. U.S. Commercial office Real Estate impact 12 billion square feet = $20 billion in annual energy costs 2

  3. Tenant opportunity • Over 50% of a building’s energy use comes from tenant spaces in commercial office buildings • Optimize energy performance, quality of spaces and building services through owner/ tenant collaboration • Base building energy efficiency goals and performance recognition ratings are enhanced through better tenant energy performance 3

  4. Tenant opportunity • Workplace quality, occupant comfort and satisfaction improvements are often cited as motivations for high performance tenant space. • Soft benefits have the potential for greater economic impact than energy cost savings. • A process of evaluating and quantifying soft benefits is necessary driver to increase the demand for high performance tenant space. 4

  5. VALUE PROPOSITION • TENANTS: • energy consumption • operating & maintenance costs • workplace comfort • employee attraction/retention • occupant satisfaction • corporate responsibility & investor recognition • REAL ESTATE OWNERS: • energy consumption • operations & maintenance cost • capital plan & infrastructure upgrade cost • occupancy & tenant quality • tenant satisfaction • renewal probability • asset class, value & recognition 5

  6. TENANT ENGAGEMENT Challenges: Data proving payback of energy investments Project process/ execution expertise First cost funding solutions Optimizing energy performance at time of build-out, renovation or capital work maximizes ROI and minimizes incremental cost and disruption 6

  7. ENERGY Savings OPPORTUNITIES 7

  8. QUANTIFIABLE RESULTS Baseline energy use can be reduced by 30-50%, optimizing energy performance with a payback of 3-5 years, while providing a more comfortable and better performing building 8

  9. QUANTIFIABLE RESULTS Baseline energy use can be reduced by 30-50% compared to: Existing office space Code standard new tenant space Code standard new tenant space + Pre-retrofit base building 9

  10. QUANTIFIABLE RESULTS Baseline energy use can be reduced by 30-50% compared to: Existing office space Code compliant standards Code compliant standards + Pre-retrofit base building 10

  11. TENANT SPACE ENERGY Savings OPPORTUNITIES Optimize energy performance by addressing all end uses: Reducing loads Installing efficient equipment Managing behavior 11

  12. LEASE Cycle Energy Optimization Process
