The Challenge: Inefficient Buildings, Wasted Money
Buildings in the United States consume more energy (39%) and generate more greenhouse gas pollution (38%) than any other sector of the economy, including transportation or industry.1 Reducing this energy consumption should be a top priority for economic, environmental, and security reasons. The good news is that better technology and smarter management practices can reduce energy use in buildings by 20–40%, while saving money even after the costs of improvements are taken into account.
Right now, the talent and technology exists to save large sums of money and help avert the climate crisis. The investment required to green our buildings is miniscule compared to the payoff. There are a variety of low cost and no cost techniques to make buildings run more efficiently. It is just a matter of providing our building professionals with cutting edge green training and technology. Often it is the smallest investments that produce the greatest returns.
