Tenant Energy Efficiency Programs We partner with tenants to monitor and evaluate energy consumption and GHG emissions reductions, water reduction, and the measures we implement to make continuous progress toward our intensive long-term goals in their spaces and in the buildings they occupy. Our High Performance Design and Construction Guidelines include stringent requirements to drive building performance throughout the design, construction, commissioning, and occupancy phases and to optimize energy efficiency and sustainability in tenant spaces. We provide information on energy efficiency programs such as ENERGY STAR for Tenant Spaces and the ULI Tenant Energy Optimization Program, for tenant participation.

Operations and Engagement From tenant visits to green cleaning protocols, composting programs, and our tenant energy audits, ESRT building services follow best practices to identify sustainability opportunities. We proactively support our tenants to measure, report, and achieve their sustainability targets through environmental data, actionable recommendations for energy reduction, ROI-based design and construction, and an active partnership in their sustainability journey. Educational town halls and custom tenant groups led by our SVP, Director of Energy, Sustainability, and ESG cover all aspects of our holistic sustainability program for building occupants. Landlord-tenant collaboration is integral to the success of our sustainability program goals. We continue to strengthen this partnership with all tenants as we work toward a green future together.
