Reducing the energy use and environmental impact of these buildings is job one. In addition to increasing their property values, as this study finds, building owners can reduce their operating costs, increase their occupancy rates and shrink their carbon footprint. And through performance contracting, they can pay for energy efficiency improvements with energy cost savings that are guaranteed. Efficiency now! It’s never been more important.
