Model Green Lease Generates Energy Savings of 30 to 50 Percent

By redesigning the traditional lease to put the economic incentives in the right spots, the Model Green Lease changes the game. Finally, everybody gets the economic and environmental results they want. Preliminary estimates show that adopting the structure of the Model Green Lease, with suitable construction and operating standards can cut energy use by 30 to 50 percent over comparable office buildings.

The Model Green Lease was crafted by a national task force of attorneys, real estate brokers, corporate tenants, landlords, and green building consultants from both sides of the negotiating table. Collectively, members have negotiated hundreds of office building leases.

Model Green Lease Overcomes Biggest Obstacle to Green Buildings – “Split Incentive”

Learn how the Model Green Lease resolves the issue of the split financial incentive in a fair and equitable manner. Discover how landlords can keep or attract tenants in tough economic times while maximizing building value. See how tenants will get the benefit of being in a green office building — a healthy and productive workplace at a competitive rate.

Learn the 10 Essential Elements of the Model Green Lease

“We knew that modifying an existing lease wasn’t going to work, and this needed to be more than a symbolic gesture to sustainability,” explains task force chair Alan Whitson, RPA. “So we started with a blank sheet of paper and a straightforward goal: Create a lease document that encourages green office buildings, maximizes the return on investment for green buildings, and provides a healthy and productive workplace.”

The Model Green Lease is consistent with key building rating systems, including ASHRAE, Energy Star, Green Globes, and LEED. Yet, it could be used in any buildings that for various reasons may not be seeking certification. It provides for economic incentives for both the tenant and landlord to operate in an energy

efficient manner. The Model Green Lease requires an annual environmental performance report and addresses key environmental issues such as IAQ, energy use, carbon credits, recycling, insurance, operating costs, tenant improvements, green cleaning specifications, and building regulations.
