To put this methodology into practice, we offer resources for both large (>100,000 sq. Our researchers have developed a Building Re-Tuning™ approach to detect energy savings opportunities and implement improvements. This lack of proper operation and maintenance leads to inefficiencies, reduced lifetime of equipment, and-ultimately-higher energy costs. While sophisticated energy management and control systems are used in large commercial buildings to manage heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems and components, many buildings are not properly commissioned, operated, or maintained.
energy consumption, and 10-30% of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted because of improper and inefficient operations. A Low-Cost Path to Energy Efficiency and Cost SavingsĬommercial buildings account for almost 20% of the total U.S.
