The research done in FY 18 found that there were many factors particularly relevant to the commercial setting that would impact participation and should be considered when evaluating the effectiveness of a TE system. One factor that became a major focus of this research was the ownership and lease structures, commercial real estate databases were used to estimate the percentage of commercial space that may be subject to a lease arrangement that inherently removed the incentive to participate in TE. Other major factors that were discussed were the impacts that participation could have on the production and revenue of a commercial space and how the state of the building and the equipment within it would effect the potential participation. The research on other factors was not discussed at the same level of detail; this addendum aims to analyze some of the other important factors on commercial participation in a TE system with similar rigor.
