Abstract: This study examines the performance of green buildings from the operation and management perspective. Specifically, we look at the utility expenses, cleaning practices, use of energy-saving devices, and other building operation procedures of a national sample of office properties managed by CB Richard Ellis. The findings indicate that green buildings in the sample are more energy-efficient than their non-green counterparts. Surprisingly, the average total operating expenses of the green building group is higher than the non-green building group, albeit insignificantly. Additionally, a building's operating performance is more highly correlated with its ENERGY STAR score, and not the ENERGY STAR label.
