Do you need the space you occupy? We raised this as the very first question, but it should be constantly revisited. The needs of the business change, so check and recheck.

Undertake space and utilisation studies regularly (see Chapter 11, ‘Productivity’).

Where possible, downsize your occupation to better meet the measured needs of your organisation, thereby reducing wastage incurred in heating/lighting/cooling underutilised space and generally reducing your carbon footprint.
