Deploying such expertise is a critical component of Energy Solutions, as Link Logistics teams strategize and execute energy efficiency upgrades wherever feasible across our managed portfolio to drive value for customers. Our national LED program—which is the product of close collaboration between our Sustainability, Leasing, Property Management, Construction and Building Solutions teams—is a good example. Every unit in a Link Logistics building is audited for a potential LED retrofit. Our dedicated team and

national vendor have standardized specifications, installation processes, and measurement and verification methodologies. After executing 14 million square feet of LED retrofits in 2022, we greatly accelerated that work in 2023 with a total of 36 million square feet installed—more than the total for the previous four years combined.

These installations and other energy efficiency upgrades amounted to 12,343 metric tons of carbon emissions reduced across our managed portfolio in 2023.
