In 2024, Partner Energy’s Green Certifications practice grew in the number of properties certified, from 161 total properties certified in 2022, to 184 in 2023, and then to 192 in 2024.
Last year, Partner Energy helped clients obtain 145 ENERGY STAR® EB certifications, and 47 other green certifications. Among ENERGY STAR® certifications, multifamily properties had the largest share, while among other green certs, we provided more whole building new construction certifications than existing building. See diagram below for the entire breakdown of our projects in 2024.
Demand for Green Certifications
Demand for green certifications will continue to rise in 2025, as affordable housing developers require green certifications to comply with LIHTC QAP and other housing funding requirements, such as for California’s CTCAC Program. Additionally, investors with ESG goals or GRESB reporting needs are also asking for green certifications as they aim to reach sustainability targets. Those wanting to qualify for financing incentives via HUD or Fannie/Freddie also continue to require green certifications. Meanwhile, institutions such as universities and K-12 schools, as well as public agencies, drive additional demand for green certifications due to legislative requirements.
