Satisfied tenants are profitable tenants. But when a commercial building experiences issues with indoor air qualityorenergy/operatingcoststhataretoohigh, tenants tend to leave. In fact, a BOMA study* shows that lack of comfortdue to problems with temperature, humidity, airborne contaminants, etc.is the second most common reason for tenants leaving, surpassed only by insufficient space. If a tenant lodges three major complaints about comfort in a single year, theres a 50/50chancethatthetenantwillmoveoutattheendof the lease. Tenants are also paying closer attention to the operating costs of their building. Resources are readily available that enable them to compare other properties energy costs per square foot and find a more economical alternative.
