Download a copy of the “Understanding Renters: Serving the Needs of Small Business” report, which focuses on the energy-related concerns and interests of small businesses with fewer than 100 employees that lease commercial property.

The report is based on twenty 30-minute interviews with business owners that occupy rental properties in Texas, Florida, Illinois, California, Arkansas, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and South Carolina, as well as a review of relevant publications.

The report provides insights on small businesses’ top financial priorities (including where energy efficiency fits in), the types of commercial real estate that these businesses tend to lease, the barriers that small businesses face in participating in energy-saving programs and more.
