Responsible for 40% of global energy consumption, buildings represent one of the largest opportunities for energy use reduction through efficiency and green building solutions. In addition to more energy efficient construction and shared building systems, tenant end-use will be one of the largest determinants of successful energy reduction programs. More efficient energy use affords tenants the opportunity to lower operating costs and achieve corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals. In many cases, the cost of enabling solutions can be shared with owners and are self funding with short payback periods. In those cases where assets are tenant owned, these solutions also enable tenant owners to increase the value of their assets.
Cleantech Approach works with tenants — across all major asset classes, including commercial office, industrial, institutional, mixed-use, residential, and retail — in their sustainability planning, investment, and deployment decisions.
