Commercial Real Estate Energy Alliance

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invites commercial real estate owners and operators to join the Commercial Real Estate Energy Alliance (CREEA), designed to promote technology that will reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of the commercial real estate market. Here you will find information about CREEA, including its goals and Project Teams.

For more information, read the Commercial Real Estate Energy Alliance fact sheet. See a list of current CREEA members.

About the Commercial Real Estate Energy Alliance

Many in the commercial real estate sector are looking for innovative, high-performance solutions to dramatically reduce energy expenses, environmental costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and overall operating risk. This increased focus on energy efficiency and environmental impact has been matched by a wave of new green technologies that promise to meet the commercial real estate sector's desire for a quantum leap in the sustainability and energy performance of their buildings and businesses. But many of these technologies may be unproven, pose significant operational integration challenges, or are too costly at current prices to meet developers' and tenants' expectations. CREEA addresses these issues by conducting activities, such as technology and system specifications, with DOE's national laboratories in an attempt to meet and exceed the sector's high-performance demand. Suppliers play a critical role in providing energy-saving technologies and strategies. Learn more about how suppliers can participate with the alliances.
