Who can Register?
Who can register?
Commercial buildings of any type, including:
Landlords on behalf of the whole building
"I want to improve the relationship with my occupiers and work together to save energy, so I directly submit the building that I own into the competition."
Single occupiers leasing their whole buildings
"I am company renting space from a landlord, but I currently have or can ask for access to my energy bills each month."
Occupier in a multi-let building with sub-metered data
"I only rent a portion of the building but have access to the energy data that my office space uses."
Property Managers on behalf of landlords and occupiers
"I manage a building on behalf of a landlord or occupier and want to bring them closer together. I encourage the landlord or occupier to enter the building and support them during the year."
Asset managers and funds on behalf of portfolio companies
"I own or manage companies that need to reduce their energy. I enter them into the competition to help them kick-start action and prioritise energy consumption."
Occupiers in a building without sub-metered data and without buy in of the wider building
"If I am a small tenant in a large building, my effort may not be reflected in the building-level data, so it can be difficult to meaningfully participate."
