Nicole DeNamur (she/her) - Climate Aligned Law As Building Performance Standards (BPS) and other decarbonization frameworks expand and compliance deadlines approach, property owners face growing pressure to mitigate risk and preserve asset value. Leases have become a critical, yet often overlooked, tool for aligning owners and tenants towards shared climate goals.
Most leases still fail to address key BPS-related issues, such as tenant energy use, data sharing, and access to access to / maintenance of sensors and other technology; climate-aligned leases can help bridge this gap.
Join us for an engaging discussion on emerging market and regulatory trends, the untapped potential of leases in decarbonization, and key lease provisions that support compliance and collaboration.
Learning Objectives:
Explain how building performance standards are reshaping the owner / tenant relationship.
Identify key intersections between BPS/emissions requirements and commercial lease provisions.
Describe how leases can facilitate decarbonization goals and support regulatory compliance.
Evaluate opportunities to leverage leases to align owners and tenants towards shared climate goals.
