Businesses can improve productivity as well as the bottom line by taking advantage of energy efficiency in office buildings as well as through production processes.

Taking Actions to Become Efficient

Industry surveys indicate that, mainly through procedural and behavioral changes, the average plant can reduce its energy consumption by 10 to 20 percent. Many companies are joining in to do their part in becoming energy efficient.

At the Alliance, we provide numerous forums for the business community to showcase the work it is doing to be energy efficient. Representatives from the business community share their firsthand experiences with implementing energy efficiency throughout their business practices at the Alliance's many speaking engagements, including our annual Great Energy Efficiency Day; Evening with the Stars of Energy Efficiency Awards Dinner; and international energy efficiency conference, EE Global.

Alliance-led workshop explores tune-ups in federal buildings

Date: Aug 13, 2010

Author(s): 
Rodney Sobin

At a workshop in May, federal and private sector building managers and energy experts discussed how the federal government could reduce energy consumption in its buildings through the practice of commissioning, which involves “tune-ups” that make sure buildings meet performance standards.

While recess and impending reelections slow progress in Congress, the federal government strives to become the nation’s greatest leader-by-example in building energy efficiency. To help reduce the federal government’s energy consumption, speakers at a May workshop on efficiency in new and existing buildings explored advances in commissioning, a tool that already sits in the government's tool belt.
