common leasing mistakes #5: is your workplace eco-friendly?

Searching for new office space gives you an opportunity to consider the ways you can improve your eco-footprint.
An energy efficient workspace will have a direct impact on your bottom line and positively impact the environment.
When assessing space options, consider responsible workplace design and look at how the building adheres to some of the simple environmentally sustainable practices.

LIGHTING:

• use of natural light (windows, skylights)
  
• energy efficient lighting
  
• sensor lighting for unused spaces​
  

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

• double glazing
• window film
• insulation
• efficient running of heating and cooling system

RENEWABLES

• water tanks
• grey water systems
• solar panels

Commercial property owners often assume sustainable upgrades are expensive and can be resistant to change.

Upgrading to a more sustainable standard can be easier than what you think and will reduce overall running costs.
Improving the footprint of the building will benefit your landlord by increasing the capital value and demand for the space.

Discussing sustainable options prior to signing a lease may encourage a degree of shared responsibility with your landlord.
