𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - here are some ways that you can help conserve energy, maximize efficiency, and reduce your footprint: 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞  Avoid phantom power consumption by shutting down unneeded appliances. Even in “sleep mode,” office equipment uses power. Simple solution—unplug unneeded appliances or switch off central power strips to save energy and money. Adjust the thermostat to find the sweet spot between comfort and savings. The interior space does not need to be an icebox or a sauna, especially while occupants are out—so shut down the AC when away and adjust the temperature gradually to avoid unnecessary spikes in energy consumption and utility spend.    𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞   Make smart energy choices when shopping for home and office appliances. Appliances recognized as ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2024 are anywhere from 10-80% more efficient than conventional models, helping save energy and money over the long term.   LED lights are brighter and less energy intensive than traditional models. Providing quick return on investment (ROI) and safer working conditions, LED lighting should be the go-to standard for lighting retrofits and new buildouts.     𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬  Over 12% of global electricity generation came from wind and solar in 2022, a nearly 80% increase since 2001. This surge has expanded customer options for clean energy. Check your utility's website for available renewable energy programs. Creative energy procurement options exist outside of local utility plans. If on-site energy systems are infeasible, virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) present another vehicle to take advantage of off-site renewable energy generation. Discover available options to use VPPAs for advancing energy and sustainability objectives.

The commercial real estate (CRE) sector is confronting a new climate reality: achieving net zero requires navigating the complexities of scope 3 emissions. As the importance of scope 3 emissions grows, the real estate industry is steadily developing tools and initiatives to help companies set targets, measure, and report these complex emissions more effectively. The latest article from Verdani can help companies better understand scope 3 emissions in CRE, how to identify and measure these emissions for reporting, and how they fit into broader corporate sustainability strategies.
