Building
designers, owners, operators, and occupants are making smart
choices about energy – and saving money. Learn more about energy
solutions for your building.
Homes use-and
waste-energy in many ways, so there are many options for
savings. Check out tips, tools, and guides for saving energy at
home.
Multifamily buildings offer
multiple opportunities for savings-energy efficiencies are
intrinsic to shared structural and mechanical systems such as
roofs, exterior walls, water, and climate control. Find out how
others are saving on utility bills and maintenance costs.
Office building energy bills are
the highest of any commercial building type. For bottom-line
savings, designers, owners, and operators are looking to
energy-efficient building design and technologies.
Retail buildings
often have high energy costs, particularly for lighting.
Switching to energy-efficient lighting-and other energy
improvements-can yield fast returns on the initial investment.
Health care
facilities are energy-intensive environments. But many medical
facilities are finding that energy investments offer fast
paybacks and ongoing returns with no compromise in patient care.
Lodging energy use
is directly tied to guest expectations for comfort and to
services like laundry. Energy-efficient technologies and
processes deliver huge savings without any adverse impact on
guests.
Schools can save big
on utility bills and maintenance costs by making energy-smart
choices that reduce energy use and improve the classroom
environment. Every dollar saved can be redirected toward hiring
new teachers or purchasing books and computers.
Universities consume
energy like mini-cities. Energy-efficient building
improvements-like centralized building controls–can help to
reduce operating costs and improve the campus environment.
Government buildings
are leading by example, incorporating energy-efficient building
designs, technologies, and practices. The energy savings can be
diverted to better uses, such as education, crime prevention, or
national security.
