Our strategy aims to communicate with, engage with, and educate brokers,
property managers, owners and asset managers, tenants, building engineers,
vendors, and the general public on ways they can contribute to energy reduction.
It includes:
• Providing benchmarking support
• Developing informational resources and proprietary training programs
• Collaborating with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• Sharing case studies
• Releasing a national energy performance report
• Designating market champions
• Holding annual engineering summits
Recognizing achievements by managed properties incentivizes high performance
and encourages continued improvement. Internally, regional property
management leadership recognizes building teams that have demonstrated
superior performance on an annual basis.
