When commercial offices try to discern what are the key drivers of their costs, it’s no secret that energy management strategies are among the first areas that they look at.

The bigger issue is that after the initial scrutiny, energy efficiency can often be treated as a low-level line-item expense that is dealt with on a case-by-case basis.  This kind of approach is fraught with risk for any kind of organization, but can be particularly detrimental to those with high energy expenses.

Commercial office buildings without a targeted and comprehensive energy strategy can expose themselves to everything from financial losses to missed opportunities to a failure to comply with standards regarding emission reduction and climate change initiatives.

♦  The typical commercial office building spends approximately 30% of its operating budget just on energy costs.

♦  Giving staff and tenants more environmentally-friendly environments requires much more than some better choices in lightbulbs.  The standard today for effective and eco-conscious work environments is now also gauged on your ability to create temperature, lighting and convenience amenities that demonstrate your commitment to environmental consciousness without negatively impacting comfort.
