ConsensusDocs is Now Offering a ConsensusDocs Owner & Energy Consultant Agreement

The ConsensusDocs Coalition has published ConsensusDocs 842, Owner and Energy Consultant Agreement, to help meet the construction industry’s demand to provide sustainable building. This new ConsensusDocs agreement provides a standard contractual base for owners to retain an energy consultant. Rather than use a contract form that favors the owner or consultant, this agreement was created with broad industry input to create a fair contract for all parties involved.

“Energy performance contracting has become increasingly important because owners want to control energy costs in existing and new buildings,” said Brian Perlberg, Executive Director & Senior Counsel for ConsensusDocs. “ConsensusDocs now provides an off-the-shelf contract solution energy performance services.”

The NASBP membership receives a 20% discount on all ConsensusDocs purchases. Simply use Discount Code “NASBP400” when prompted at purchase at www.ConsensusDocs.org.
