With leased tenant spaces often accounting for more than 50% of a commercial building’s energy use, office fit-outs are critical to improving energy performance and attaining substantial emissions reductions.

As part of our mission to make high-performance retrofits the industry standard, Building Energy Exchange is excited to host a presentation and discussion focused on the strategies and actionable resources needed to successfully decarbonize office spaces! Programming will build upon our recent Decarbonizing NYC Offices: Leveraging High Performance Leases event.

Through a moderated panel discussion, industry experts will provide insights into how commercial building owners, tenants, and consultants can move away from inefficient, traditional practices to create more sustainable, efficient, and healthy workplaces. Attendees will gain practical advice on implementing effective decarbonization strategies and maximizing energy savings throughout the leasing cycle.

Enjoy coffee, tea, and small bites as we explore how high-performance fit-outs deliver a range of benefits across stakeholder groups, including reducing energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and securing cost savings—all while promoting alignment with broader sustainability goals and emissions regulations like LL97.

This event will highlight the release of best practices and leading solutions from the Decarbonizing New York City Offices initiative—like our recently published High-Performance Fit-Out Guide—designed to help decision-makers achieve emissions savings, implement forward-thinking leasing practices, and generate win-win outcomes for both tenants and owners in commercial real estate.
