NEEA’s Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Initiative, offered since 2007, engages the Northwest’s commercial office real estate market to reduce energy use by adopting Strategic Energy Management (SEM) practices. SEM is a holistic approach that includes both efficient equipment and behavioral activities and requires engagement from organizational staff at all levels. NEEA provides technical advice and trainings to CRE cohorts to ensure that firm and building managers have the knowledge and tools to track and measure energy consumption and implement energy efficiency opportunities.
