A Core and Shell developer pursuing the IPc2 Green Leases credit has drafted lease language.

IPc2 Green Leases goes beyond merely informing tenants about sustainability. LEED v5 requires development of a standard green lease that establishes tenant fit-out standards and incorporates defined tenant requirements, with a commitment to include the provisions in future tenant leases. Option A uses mandatory contractual language—“Tenant shall”—and establishes measurable obligations for resource reporting and waste performance. This is structurally consistent with the credit ' s purpose of making sustainability expectations enforceable through the lease. Option B provides useful guidelines, but material supplied merely “for reference” is informational and corresponds more closely to the Tenant Guidelines concept than a binding green lease. Option C requires only awareness and contains no measurable performance or compliance obligation. Green Lease provisions are intended to carry the base building ' s sustainable design objectives into tenant fit-out and operation. Therefore, A is the strongest answer.
