Applicability
All asset classes
Tenant occupied building
Answer & Scoring
- Yes = Points as indicated below
Select all that apply:
-
- IAQ Assessment = 1 point
- Ventilation, Exhaust and Filtration = 1 point
- Renovation and Maintenance = 1 point
- Refrigeration and IAQ Hazards = 1 point
- No = 0 points
- Not applicable – Owner/landlord occupied building = 0/0
Max of 4 points
Requirements
-
- Engage with tenants to understand their Indoor Air Quality and Hazards goals, in specific topics listed, and how their goals may align with the building management’s Indoor Air Quality and Hazards goals
- Provide a sample of feedback or communication received from the tenants that demonstrate where alignment exists in specific topics covered in the Indoor Air Quality and Hazards Plan
In buildings where tenants manage the majority of the IAQ-delivering systems, the owner or landlord can engage with the tenant(s) to collaborate and share information and lessons learned to improve whole-building performance in these areas.
Documentation
- Narrative that describes where landlord and tenant’s Indoor Air Quality and Hazards goals align
- Sample of relevant feedback or communication received from the tenants
Suggested Lead
In-house
Value
- The Innovation in IAQ question awards buildings for going beyond requirements outlined in other IAQ questions
- Buildings are encouraged to pursue additional measures to improve indoor air quality at the building
Description
Passive engagement through communication is an important first step. Also, the ability to collect tenant utility data is becoming increasingly important as part of reporting and disclosure. Active engagement efforts include direct outreach activities, such as working with tenants to collect tenant-controlled utility data or requiring green leases for new tenants or renewals that address sustainability initiatives.
