Incorporating Environmental Best Practice into Commercial Tenant Lease Agreements – Part 3
Funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and partnered by Eversheds, the British Council for Offices and RICS, the Centre for Research in the Built Environment will provide further comprehensive guidance for lawyers, property owners and commercial tenants to assist them adoption of green leases.
Part 1 provides a number of “model” lease clauses together with best practice tips and recommendations to be discussed at lease negotiation stages. Part 2 provides a legislative overview driving innovation together with a background to the research that led to the provisions set in Part 1.
Part 3 will be unique as it will encompass and focus on existing, multi-tenanted commercial buildings - the biggest challenge for improvements in energy performance within the UK. Based on exemplar case studies from previous work together with additional projects from a wide variety of prestigious sources, the Guide will provide a stepped approach with recommendations for development of a green lease in both formal and informal contexts.
This Guide is due to be published in December 2008. If you would like to discuss this in advance or could provide valuable contributions to the exemplar case studies or projects, we would like to hear from you. Click here for our contact details.
