This paper examines strategies to resolve the “split incentive” problem, where landlords and tenants have misaligned motivations for energy upgrades. It reviews policy tools such as green leases, performance mandates, and financial incentives, and highlights successful programs from the U.S., U.K., and EU. The report provides a roadmap for aligning stakeholder interests and accelerating building decarbonization in leased spaces.
