We've created a policy for the recertification process for transitioning to 乐竞体育赛事直播 CSP Version 2025. You can view our policy here.

• Recognition
  A Certified Sustainable Property certification can give your properties recognition for supporting sustainability and planetary health. Because sustainable practices are viewed more favorably than ever before, this certification is appealing to tenants, residents, employees, and stakeholders.
• Improved net operating income
  By managing a property with a CSP certification, you are managing a property that demonstrates meaningful sustainability practices. This means your property will be conserving resources like electricity, heat, and/or water, reducing the amount of expenses you will incur for operating the building. You can also build upon the CSP certification's Baseline Requirements to enhance your property's sustainability program, further improving your net operating income.
• Enhanced ESG reporting
  By following the reporting standard laid out in the Certified Sustainable Property certification, you will easily be able to keep track of track of key metrics and stay on top your propety's sustainability ratings used in ESG reporting.
• Appeal to tenants and residents
  By knowing the building they reside in is CSP certified, tenants and residents are more confident in the building's commitment to the health of the environment, and by extension, to the health of the individuals inside. Additionally, tenants and residents will be able to participate in sustainable practices while inside the building, conserving energy and resources compared to a building without a CSP certification.

A CSP certification lasts for three years and is required by December 31 of the year in which recertification is due. Recertification lasts another three years.

Only the owner of the previous certification can recertify the property. Once started, collaborators can contribute to the recertification application.

Recertification takes place on the CSP platform, the same site used for first time certification. Go to . Once you log in, visit the 鈥淩ecertification鈥� link at the top or hit the 鈥淪tart a recertification鈥� link in the center of the screen, and your recertification apps will load in.

Recertification applications are more streamlined than first time applications. There are only two main parts to the recertification process.

• Submitting energy and water data

The CSP program looks for a 5% reduction in energy and water use since previous certification. These reductions can demonstrate a continued commitment to a more sustainable property. The CSP is partnered with ENERGY STAR庐 and highly recommends benchmarking with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager庐, but data from other benchmarking platforms is accepted.

With all that said, certain factors, such as tenant turnover , and unforeseen disasters, among other events, can make these reductions infeasible. For this reason, we offer a section for properties to explain why these metrics may not have been reached.

• Uploading documentation for sustainable projects, initiatives and/ or policies

The second part of the recertification process is to document new projects, initiatives, or policies implemented since the last certification. These actions should support your property鈥檚 growing commitment to sustainability.

Some examples include HVAC upgrades, IAQ testing, initiating a green leasing program, etc. Documentation to support these initiatives includes invoices, work orders, contract excerpts, reports, internal planning documents, and similar items.

Recertification application fees are the same as first time certification fees for the year in which the property is applying for recertification.

Recertification applications can be paid for by the same options that original certifications are paid for. To learn more about payment options, .

If building exteriors such as hardscapes, parking lots, and landscaped areas support the property鈥檚 sustainability initiatives, the square footage of those exteriors can contribute up to 7,500 square feet toward the minimum total of 25,000 square feet required to achieve the 乐竞体育赛事直播 Certified Sustainable Property certification.

Each portion of the property that meets the certification prerequisites for that property type must be certified separately. In the example above, the property would have to apply for separate 乐竞体育赛事直播 Certified Sustainable Property certifications under the office, multifamily, and retail versions of the program, and only those portions of the property that meet the prerequisites for that property type would be eligible for certification and able to claim CSP status upon successful certification.

The 乐竞体育赛事直播 Certified Sustainable Property certification is for existing properties. The property must be at least 18 months from substantial completion or repositioning and at least 75% occupied to qualify for the certification.

For new construction developments, 乐竞体育赛事直播 recommends that you establish your property management and operations program according to the standards of the 乐竞体育赛事直播 Certified Sustainable Property certification. You can then apply for the certification at the appropriate time following completion and lease-up, once those prerequisites are met.

Yes. You can use the certification standards and tools as a framework for establishing a cost-saving, value-enhancing sustainability program. The program includes all of the templates, checklists, questionnaires, and tools you need to start a sustainability program from scratch.

Start with the Baseline Requirements, which lay the foundation for your sustainability program through benchmarking, policies, and self-assessments. Then begin with the most practical point activities for the property and work your way through the more difficult activities.

No. Send your policies to 乐竞体育赛事直播 at [email protected] once at the beginning of your participation in the program. 乐竞体育赛事直播 will place them on file to apply to all of your certification applications. This is an excellent way to save time when working through multiple certifications.

Note: your proprietary information will be kept secure and will not be shared with any third parties.

The application fee is payable at the time of application on the You can add one or multiple applications to your shopping cart and pay the fee(s) by credit card.

The application fee covers the initial review and any subsequent reviews after you submit any required corrections to your application.

乐竞体育赛事直播 developed the program with the Yardi Energy Efficiency Grant, awarded to the Institute and other leading organizations to create programs and resources that reduce the energy consumption of office, residential, and mixed-used properties. The grant helps to keep the application fees reasonable.

乐竞体育赛事直播 is committed to the certification program as an accessible and affordable recognition so that 乐竞体育赛事直播 Members and others in the industry can demonstrate quality, responsible management.

You may set the property鈥檚 baseline going back three years from the date you begin working on the certification for the property. For example, if you begin working on a certification on August 22, 2019, you may set the baseline beginning January 1, 2016, and choose any year-over-year period in that timeframe to show the performance improvement.

乐竞体育赛事直播 is an ENERGY STAR Partner and strongly recommends using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager to benchmark and track energy, water, and waste.

If you use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager to benchmark and track energy and water consumption, use:

• Site EUI for as much of the property you are able to track
• Year-over-year water consumption in kgals for as much of the property you are able to track

Most properties submit standard reports from ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager such as the Energy and Water Performance Report to prove that they have achieved performance improvement points.

If you do not use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, you may submit year-over-year energy and water metrics. Email [email protected] if you have any questions.

Benchmarking is good business. As the adage goes, you can鈥檛 manage what you don鈥檛 measure. For this reason, benchmarking is included in Best Practices: Real Estate Management Service, which 乐竞体育赛事直播 developed to guide and support real estate management companies committed to operating their businesses successfully and in a professional manner.

Benchmarking energy and water consumption are also Baseline Requirements鈥攎eaning you have to benchmark in order to achieve the certification. 乐竞体育赛事直播 recommends using the free ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager benchmarking tool. We also accept other tools. Once you benchmark the property, you can begin to make improvements in energy and water efficiency and improve your property鈥檚 diversion rate (the amount of waste diverted from the landfill through recycling and reuse). A property can earn several points toward certification by making these performance improvements. But benchmarking is foundational to sustainability and a necessary first step if you are just getting started.

Yes. An 乐竞体育赛事直播 Certified Sustainable Property contributes to your score in the Building Certifications Aspect of the assessment at the 鈥渇ull鈥� certification level. The 乐竞体育赛事直播 certification allows GRESB participants to identify gaps in sustainability performance, scale sustainability across their portfolios, and earn recognition for properties not yet covered by a certification program.

乐竞体育赛事直播 staff conducts an initial review of your full application package. Final review is through a qualified, external consultant who makes a recommendation on whether to certify the property. This process ensures impartiality and upholds the rigor of the program. Throughout the review, 乐竞体育赛事直播 may ask for clarifications, work with you to fill any gaps, and allow you to supplement your application package with additional information or materials. The process takes anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks.

乐竞体育赛事直播 will notify you if your initial application is not accepted and will work with you to rectify any issues. If necessary, we will send a corrections checklist to explain the issues we found and what you can do to fix them. We are more than happy to host a webinar in order to further explain our review and answer any specific questions you may have.

After you fix the issues, you may resubmit your application.

If you have other questions or would like to schedule a webinar on the certification process, email 乐竞体育赛事直播 at [email protected].

Your CSP will be recognized in the following ways:

• A listing in our online directory of certified properties

A multi building property is a collection of two or more co-located buildings that act as a single property. They are generally owned and operated by the same party.

In order for multi building properties to be eligible for 乐竞体育赛事直播 CSP Certification, a multi building property of co-located buildings must be a single, cohesive property with a single shared primary function. Typically, these can include multifamily units, medical office buildings and senior living centers. Additionally, 乐竞体育赛事直播 does allow multi-building office properties with a central plant to certify as one property.

For other property types that exist as a multi building property (such as an office park made up of multiple office buildings, or a lot containing several warehouses) that also do not have a central plant, each individual building must be benchmarked and certified individually.
