Calculate the Full Benefits of Energy Efficiency

摘要

Lower utility bills aren't the only positive result of slashing your facility's energy consumption. Efficient buildings enjoy a host of benefits that can help you justify your next upgrade, from reduced costs for maintenance materials to lower procurement costs, according to a new study by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE). "The multiple benefits of energy efficiency begin with increased ease of facility management tasks, reduced maintenance costs and improved occupant comfort," notes the organization. "External benefits are also evident, as businesses build their corporate and brand reputations by demonstrating their efficiencies to customers and shareholders alike."
