This research paper is an effort to help inform policy makers, efficiency program administrators and the wider CRE community about the challenges and opportunities of energy efficiency in the Boston commercial property market. Section I of this report reviews statistics on three major commercial property sub-markets: Class A properties, Non-Class A properties, and hotels. Section II discusses the results of a series of stakeholder surveys and interviews with Boston property owners, building managers and major tenants. Section III reviews the implications of this research on future City energy programs and suggests a potential roadmap for addressing key barriers to greater energy efficiency program delivery in the commercial property market.
