Energy represents 30% of the typical office building's operating costs and is a property's single largest operating expense. Building operation and management strategy changes alone can reduce energy use by 35%¹. Reducing energy and operating costs can improve your profit margins, increase funds available for development of new products and services, and enhance overall corporate value.

Many organizations with commercial real estate, corporate real estate, and multifamily housing units have realized significant energy savings and increases in asset value by investing in energy-saving improvements. For example, reducing energy use by 15% in a typical 250-unit master-metered community will increase net operating income and can enhance asset value by over $1 million (using a 6 percent capitalization rate). In a similarly-sized individually metered
community, these same savings may increase asset value by over $200,000 annually¹.
