  5. The commercial sector represents over 25% of total energy consumption in the state. SOURCE: NYSERDA “Patterns and Trends: New York State Energy Profiles 1991 - 2005

  6. In large markets, offices represent the vast majority of commercial space. NYC Commercial Space Office 65% 35% Other SOURCE: Real Deal Databook, 2006, NYC Dept. of Finance

  11. Operating expense clauses define the ability of energy efficiency to reduce costs. 1. Direct operating cost pass-through 2. Indexed escalation 3. Fixed escalation

  12. In pass-throughs, expense reductions may accrue only to tenants. 1. Direct operating cost pass-through BARRIER 2. Indexed escalation Building Systems Improvements 3. Fixed escalation

  13. In other clauses, significant incentives to invest exist. 1. Direct operating cost pass-through BARRIER 2. Indexed escalation Building Systems Improvements 3. Fixed escalation INCENTIVE

  14. Recoverable to Owner Unrecoverable to Owner However, individual leases within a single building may treat expenses differently. Expense Pool 1 8 leases Expense Pool 2 6 leases Expense Pool 3 3 leases HeatingCoolingCA Elec HeatingCoolingCA Elec HeatingCoolingCA Elec

  15. Direct-metered Sub-metered Master-metered w/o sub-meter In all cases, landlord interest in promoting tenant electric measures will be affected by metering. NEUTRAL Tenant Electric Improvements MARK-UP BARRIER INCENTIVE • Indexed & Fixed Escalation

  16. CBRE suggests that many tenants are becoming cost-conscious for building energy expenses. Increased energy awareness Increase in tenant operating cost audits Pressure to improve operations to attract & retain tenants Government incentives

  17. Importance of labels & awards This may result is a “pressure to green” to attract and retain tenants.

  18. There is disagreement in the marketplace whether this will translate to rent differentials. City and State mandates may render this question moot. ? Focused deployment of resources may lessen the need for mandates.

  22. Analysis suggests a number of entities will be responsive to the marketability of green. • REITs • Company headquarters • Major not-for-profits • Companies with current green practices

  23. Establishing partnerships is the most critical task we can undertake in this effort. • The Clinton Foundation • New York City Mayor’s Office • REBNY • Partnership for New York • New York City Energy Task Force • BOMA
