Energy

Reducing our carbon footprint is good for the environment and the economy. Policies that promote cost-effective investments to optimize building energy efficiency, increase the nation’s supply of renewables, and decarbonize the electric grid will help the real estate sector combat climate change, create “green jobs,” and enhance the resilience of our communities.

As a voice for commercial real estate, The Roundtable continues to advocate for national guidelines, incentives, and data to accelerate the economy’s and our industry’s transition toward decarbonization.

Sustaining reliable credit capacity and robust capital formation requires policies that minimize regulatory burden, support reliable market valuations, encourage appropriate transparency, and maintain suitable systemic safeguards.
