Conserve Energy & Save Money

Saving energy means saving money. Recent statistics show that 19% of office expenditures are directly related to energy consumption.

“Office buildings in the U.S. spend an annual average of $1.34 per square foot on electricity. In a typical office building, lighting, heating, and cooling represent between 54 and 71 percent of total use depending on climate, making those systems the best targets for energy savings.” – National Grid
