ENERGY STAR Tenant Space is designation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for commercial spaces that meet specific energy efficiency performance criteria. It focuses on leased spaces, encouraging tenants to adopt energy-efficient practices. Achieving ENERGY STAR Tenant Space recognition involves implementing energy-saving measures, tracking energy use, adopting an environmentally friendly procurement policy, and more.

It also helps tenants make informed choices about their leased spaces that align with environmentally friendly practices. Additionally, by encouraging energy-efficient measures, ENERGY STAR Tenant Space contributes to overall sustainability goals and reduces the environmental impact associated with building operations.
