Ways to Save

To save energy in commercial buildings, start with low-cost measures and projects with a quick return on investment. Use these early savings to develop a sustainable finance mechanism for your organization and invest in bigger projects later. Plus, reducing building loads early in the process will allow for better sized (and often smaller) HVAC systems, which will save energy and money.
