No wonder that energy efficiency has made its way to the top of many organizations’ to-do lists. With the support of their HVAC industry partners, many building owners and operators are adopting high performance building technologies and operating practices, along with intelligent service models, to improve energy efficiency in both new and existing buildings.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) says that high performance buildings use 20-30 percent less energy and cost as much as 50 percent less to operate during their total occupied life. Meanwhile, evidence continues to grow that better-performing buildings lead to better-performing organizations and more comfortable, healthy, satisfied, efficient and productive building occupants.
