Tenant Energy Optimization Program
Resource Overview
The Tenant Energy Optimization Program Infographic provides stakeholders with an overview of ULI's TEOP program as well as an outline of the 10-step process which outlines steps you can take to integrate energy efficiency into tenant space, design, and construction.
Following the TEOP 10 Steps Helps an Office Fit-out Meet Energy Star Tenant Space Criteria
Achieving Energy Star Tenant Space for your office fit-out is a great way to earn recognition for leadership in energy efficiency for leased spaces. Led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the recognition designates tenant spaces as highly energy efficient. But how do you achieve such efficiency in a fit-out? The Urban Land Institute’s Tenant Energy Optimization Program (TEOP) process can help.
TEOP walks fit-out stakeholders through a 10-step process to achieve deep energy and financial savings in leased office spaces. From pre-lease, through design and construction, to post-occupancy, the TEOP 10 steps ensure that energy efficiency is cost-effectively included from beginning to end.
When combined and followed for leased space fit-outs, the Energy Star Tenant Space recognition program and TEOP 10-step process produce not only deep savings, but also a pathway for achieving a high level of energy efficiency and overcoming the landlord/tenant split incentive. The table at right outlines all 10 TEOP steps, and the table on the following page outlines which steps of the TEOP process directly support criteria to achieve Energy Star Tenant Space recognition.
