Energy Water Performance (EWP)
This tool assists building owners to understand the performance of their buildings sit in relation to other similar office buildings in the sector as well as in relation to other buildings in their own portfolio
It gives clarity around decision making on whether to retrofit, hold or sell and is a powerful communication tool to prospective tenants or buyers. This bench-marking tool makes up 40% of the Existing Building Performance tool, but is also available as a separate certification.
