The Working Group will create a Green Tenant Toolkit (GTT), as recommended by the Mayor’s Existing Commercial Buildings Task Force Report (2009).  The members will collaborate to find effective means to reconcile the sometimes competing interests of owners and tenants that limit sustainability goals and energy savings in commercial buildings. The GTT will contain or reference existing documents, such as:  model “green” lease language, a Memorandum of Understanding to initiate collaboration under the umbrella of an existing lease, a tenant checklist for key “green” tenant space criteria, allocation of costs and benefits, a scorecard or rating for disclosure of relevant criteria, and other tools identified by the Working Group.

The 15-company Advisory Panel is composed of representatives of all sizes and from all sectors of the business community, including businesses outside of the BC3 membership.
