Modelling the way
We chose a local, family owned supplier to refurbish the space
The contractor had little experience of low-carbon refurbishment, but we worked closely with them on supplier selection and specifications
As a result of what they learned from us, they have begun to adopt a more sustainable approach and are finding that it attracts more business!
We also had to encourage our coffee supplier to find a collection bin for coffee
-designed space; user behaviour is equally -if not more important!

Top ten easy wins for low carbon office practice
Set your heating thermostat a little lower, and time by taking
Minimise use of air conditioning (and never use it when the heating is on!)Use 7 day timers to ensure all electrical devices are switched off out of hoursOptimise power save settings and invoke them whenever possible eg for your PC when you leave your deskUnplug laptops, mobiles etc. as soon as they are fully chargedConsider replacing very old devices with newer, more energy efficient onesConsider buying one multifunctional device rather than separate printers, copies and faxes reduces embodied energy as well as electricity useDe-lamp fluorescent fittings (take out every 2nd tube, for example)
Use web conferencing to reduce business travel (especially abroad)

Power consumption is only one impact of office documentsManufacturing a sheet of paper uses 10 times
as much power as printing on it Energy Star

Top ten tips for low carbon printing/copying
Never print something just to read it once
before printingReduce the margin, the font size or any images rather than letting just a few lines run on to a further pageAlways print double-sidedFor internal documents, consider printing several sheets to a page (n-up)Only print the page(s) you need, not the entire document
-read one copy before printing the restOnly ever print the number of copies you actually needScan and email documents rather than send a hard copyOptimise sleep mode settings, and batch-print where possible

Case Study - LandlordSarah Beattie, Environment Manager Land Securities
Land Securities -
we own and manageComprises of ~ 29 million sq ft of offices, shopping centres and retail parksOccupied by more than 2,500 private & public sector client
First and only UK property company to be ISO 14001 certified throughout all business activitiesIn-house Environment & Energy team to manage environmental aspects
Creating greener buildings through partnership
Neither landlord nor tenants have complete control of the environmental aspects associated with building operationWorking together has been shown to bring significant improvements tremendous scope for low-cost savings
Regis House - 29% decrease in carbon over 12 months
LS currently using standard framework for co-operation
toolkit:set of best practice recommendationsmodel green clauses for new and renewal leasesmodel form of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for existing leases.
Using the principles of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU):
Agreement between Landlord & Occupier on actions to be taken by both in relation to environmental issues Completely voluntary non binding and no alterations to current leaseOnly includes what both parties agree toFlexible to amend
Preferred approach -binding clauses
Rolling out the MoUFive stage programme:
1. LS environment team meet with tenants to explain concept
2. Standard MoU is circulated to all tenants listing general environmental initiatives
3. Occupiers individually indicate which initiatives they are willing to address
4. LS Environment team collate responses to produce a building-specific MoU
5. Building-specific MoU is circulated to each tenant for signature which then forms
An Environmental Management Plan (based on MoU) is created setting actions and targets for both tenant and landlord to achieve
Regularly reviewed as alandlord/tenant agenda item
Examples
Occupier CommitmentRelaxed set-pointsImproved communication
-Internal awarenessChange to more efficient equipment
Landlord CommitmentFree trainingAwareness materialsEnergy auditsImproved waste facilitiesTimely reporting, sharing of dataNewsletters
Simple low/no cost initiatives
Insertion of appropriate clauses into the actual leasePlaces legally binding responsibilities on the tenantsFewer environmental actions agreed
Raises the question: MoU vs. Green Clauses what is the best approach for building type?
Which has greater commitment?Which is easier to manage?
5 office tenants or 150 shopping centre tenants
Awareness & communication Authorising commitment Resources:
Funding - even with this spirit of co-Landlords are treated with suspicion Occupiers resist increases in service charges
Occupiers may want reduction in rent before they signTime
Like for like leases - existing tenants are unlikely to agree a new leaseTiming (case of green clauses) leases can often be signed before buildings are built and we know what we are aiming for
Getting over the hurdles
Raising awarenessQuashing the mythsOffering assistance where possible
Strengthen the landlord/tenant relationship by building trust
