A new study has suggested the potential benefits from deploying super-efficient air conditioners could yield significant, untapped potential for air conditioner efficiency.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the winner of its third annual Energy Star National Building competition. More than 3,000 schools, businesses, and government buildings competed. 

With building owners and managers looking to wring savings from every square foot of space, manufacturers have introduced a wide array of advanced energy-efficient technologies that are designed to lower utility bills without compromising comfort.

While the efficiency of commercial buildings has improved significantly in recent decades, the building industry has only begun to tap the energy reserves trapped in underperforming facilities.

These days, essentially everybody wants their building to be more efficient. But there are still barriers to achieving high efficiency and constructing a high-performance building.

There are many obstacles contractors face when working on these types of projects, including everything from educating owners to following through on building operation.
