Commercial Real Estate Energy Alliance Goals

The goals of the Commercial Real Estate Energy Alliance (CREEA) are to work with member commercial real estate companies to:

  • Provide real-time access to advanced technologies and analytical tools emerging from DOE and the national energy laboratories
  • Create and share successful, evidence-based strategies for integrating advanced, high-performance technologies or processes in their facilities
  • Serve as a consistent, compelling voice to national manufacturers and distributors in response to the demand for highly efficient products and services in the commercial real estate sector
  • Provide greater consistency in energy-efficiency program design and delivery
  • Help DOE shape the future of technology research and development by clarifying the business needs unique to the commercial real estate sector
  • Validate the commercial real estate sector's energy and carbon reduction efforts to internal and external audiences, including prospective tenants and buyers and the financial community
  • Significantly increase commercial real estate's energy efficiency, which will also reduce greenhouse gases
  • Lower the cost of technologies and overcome regulatory barriers.
