DALLAS — According to Lennox, green is the word this year as the commercial building industry begins to see a significant move toward greater transparency, higher energy-efficiency standards, increased sustainability, and a more responsible use of building resources.
The company was citing Lux Research, an independent research firm specializing in emerging technology. Lux noted that the green building sector is expected to grow by $280 billion globally by 2020. It also pointed out that with the new LEEDv4 standards set to take effect later this year, “It’s time to help your customers start greening their business.”
