If you only look at 4 resources, review the following. These will guide you on the purpose and parts to a green lease and assist in writing the design brief or technical services summary for your new space. Additionally, they will give you direction on what to look for and who to contact to find your ideal space.
Information & Actions
Office fit-out can deliver a long lifetime of usage and can be stylistically refreshed at a fraction of the cost of a new fit out. Reuse of fit-out materials also improves indoor air quality and signficantly reduces landfill.
Flexible workspaces, such as activity-based working, allow staff to choose their workspace environment based upon the task at hand. They can be as progressive as paper-free, laptop-based workplaces where employees do not have desks and store their things in lockers. They can also be adaptations of traditional tenancies, with minor changes such as wifi access for employees.

Activity based working case study – GPT Group
Technology and operating equipment is continually evolving and becoming more cost- or energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable. Leasing this equipment provides a path for occupants to continue to cut costs and not hold the onus of upgrading operational equipment like computers and photocopiers when more efficient models come along. Additionally, equipment leasing can reduce the need for upfront capital investment.
Equipment leasing
- uses operational capital, removing the need for capital investment
- is designed for acquiring equipment that is purchased via lease terms
- provides the flexibility to upgrade equipment over time as technology improves
- is suitable for projects both large and small and equipment upgrades including HVAC
- removes the residual value risk of the asset for lessee.

If you only look at 4 resources, these will provide great tools for specifying tenancy spaces with the most cost-efficient and sustainable materials.
Information & Actions
Office fit-out can deliver a long lifetime of usage and can be stylistically refreshed at a fraction of the cost of a new fit out. Reuse of fit-out materials also improves indoor air quality and signficantly reduces landfill.
Careful selection of new fit out materials can have a substantial impact on the environmental footprint of a fit-out and subsequent indoor air quality. Choosing low impact materials can reduce volatile organic compounds and airborne pollutants that can negatively impact on employee performance and health.
Selecting the right lighting system can reduce lighting energy usage by up to 82%. As lighting is a significant contributor to operating costs, getting the right system can help shield tenants from increasing energy costs.
Lighting power densities of 12 w/m2 are considered best practice across floor plates. Task lighting and general lighting should reflect equal efficiencies.
