Key Findings

• Prevalence of Green Data Fields Remains Low: Only 13% of respondents reported that their Commercial Information Exchange (CIE) had green data fields to promote sustainable property features. However, among those who do have CIE green data fields, the majority (54%) do utilize them.
• 37% of respondents have completed some form of training on commercial property sustainable elements, such as energy-efficient appliances, renewable energy systems, or eco-friendly building materials.
• Agents and brokers are seeing the value in promoting energy efficiency, as 55% report that energy efficiency promotion in listings is very or somewhat valuable.
