We’re excited to share a milestone for sustainable real estate operations: RE Tech
Property managers and consultants working to turn sustainability goals into day-to-day building performance improvements know the challenge: Progress has to be practical, measurable, and repeatable. That’s exactly where the Sustainability Advisor partnership comes in, connecting property owners and managers pursuing CSP certification with expert support and resources that help streamline the application process and strengthen outcomes.
“The IREM CSP program was created to move sustainability in real estate operations from aspirational to actionable,” says 2026 IREM President Mindy Gronbeck, CPM®, CCIM. “Recognizing RE Tech Advisors as our first Sustainability Advisor reflects the ideals of the CSP and Sustainability Advisors programs: Practical expertise, measurable results, and a shared commitment to helping property professionals improve building performance through credible, recognized sustainability standards.”
“RE Tech is honored to be the first Sustainability Advisor for IREM’s CSP program,” said Lauren Baldwin, Director, Sustainability Reporting and Communications at RE Tech Advisors. “We have supported hundreds of property managers in pursuing CSP certification and applying consistent, credible sustainability standards to their properties. The CSP program reinforces practical and effective approaches to improving building performance and long-term value.”
IREM’s Sustainability Advisors program is a premium partnership for sustainability and green building certification consultants who support clients pursuing CSP certification. With growing momentum behind the CSP program, Sustainability Advisors help make it easier to submit strong, complete applications, and connect real estate managers with reliable guidance from experienced practitioners.
