New York City - Manhattan Commercial Real Estate News

Energy Efficiency Data: Now Public Information

By George Lacher

The former Mayor’s effort to make New York City a more sustainable place to live has now reached into commercial real estate. In a similar fashion to the requirement to publicly display nutritional facts on food products, Bloomberg decided to require commercial buildings to release their electrical consumption data. Those efforts were aimed to create competition between commercial buildings, as well as help landlords, tenants and the public become more aware of energy consumption.

Competition between landlords to have lower electrical consumption in their buildings is a key in the city’s plan. Since tenants in today’s modern world will be more likely to choose a commercial space which has less electrical consumption, landlords will be highly motivated to make their buildings more energy efficient. This cycle is hoped to continually raise the bar in lowering electrical consumption.

Along with the fact that better energy consumption will cut costs in a tenant’s electricity bill, the idea of being energy efficient is something that many New Yorkers covet. ‘Going Green’ has become a trend in the New York City area, and city officials hope that the commercial real estate world will join the cause.

Releasing the energy efficiency ratings is anticipated to benefit landlords and tenants alike in the commercial office sector. By reducing their energy consumption, landlords will also increase their energy star ratings, which in turn will also increase the property values. The tenants will benefit from lower electricity bills, as well a better state of mind, knowing that they are saving money.
