Renewing the lease before 10 years? That's a bit too specific, don't you think? I'd stick with the options that are more focused on reducing energy consumption and emissions.

Haha, discounted parking fees for the first year? That's just a gimmick. I'd go with option C or D, those seem like the real sustainable solutions here.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about that. Option D seems like it might be a better fit - getting energy through the building owner's campus facility that produces renewable power to Green-e standards seems like a more direct approach to earning that LEED credit.

I think option C is the best choice here. An energy payment plan where the tenant pays a flat rate on utilities through the building owner could definitely contribute towards earning a LEED credit.
