July 26, 2010

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Denver attorney Neil Oberfeld spoke this week to the Real Estate Section of the Boulder Country Bar Association, providing an overview of the quickly evolving area of green leasing. Oberfeld has spoken nationally and regionally to organizations including the International Council of Shopping Centers, United States Green Building Council, real estate councils, and bar associations, educating audiences on essential considerations for sustainable development, including green leasing. According to Oberfeld, his practice work includes ensuring that as more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings are constructed that the landlord and tenants understand energy-efficient goals and practices. "Green buildings are unique in many ways. A green lease protects both the owner and the tenant, guaranteeing the owner that his investment is safeguarded and making certain, from the tenant's perspective, that the owner constructs and operates the building in a manner that ensures energy efficiency," he said. "Sustainable building practices and green leasing are in a category that is quickly becoming a best business practice because of the great number of benefits and long-term cost savings," said Oberfeld. "What is important today is looking at all leases with a green perspective, working to meet client needs while achieving identified business goals. No doubt we will see green leasing grow exponentially in the years ahead."
