The term green lease is often spoken in conversations regarding office buildings, yet it's a term without a real definition. Some believe you can "green" a lease by adding language to stipulate product requirements and construction practices. While that may give a lease a green touch, it's not enough to make a green lease. To truly create a green lease, we must rethink the basic systems and components of today's office lease and prepare to address the leasing demand of sustainable buildings penetrating the commercial real estate industry.

Learn more about executing a green lease with BOMA's newest publication, Guide to Writing a Commercial Real Estate Lease, Including Green Lease Language, the definitive resource for anyone involved in negotiating and executing a commercial building lease transaction. The Green Lease Guide shows you how to modify the lease terms to maintain an energy efficient and sustainable building operation. It includes enforceable tenant responsibilities; pass-through provisions; and green certification notations for ENERGY STAR®, LEED and GBI rating points. Plus, hundreds of easy-to-read footnotes provide answers and suggestions to the toughest lease clauses. Order your BOMA Green Lease Guide today.
