IREM Certified Sustainable Property (CSP)

Straightforward green building certification

The IREM® CSP (Certified Sustainable Property) certification is applicable to a wide variety of properties. No matter your property type, the CSP application process is understandable and actionable, giving you the ability to complete it on your own.

The CSP program helps enhance results on the GRESB Real Estate Assessment as well as other reporting frameworks.
