Commercial Buildings Yield Tremendous Energy Savings Potential
Pike Research just came out with a pretty cool study. According to them, if all of the commercial space in the U.S. underwent a 10 year retrofit program, it would yield annual energy savings of $41.1 billion!! That is amazing. Think about it. With that much savings, do you think the U.S. would need to build any more coal plants, be reliant on foreign oil, or consume so much energy so as to harm the environment any further?
The simple truth is that with current technology and a motivated force of people to make good business decisions, we have the power to combat Global Warming and lead to national energy independence. We are confident that with time, people will realize the low hanging fruit with energy efficiency measures in commercial buildings and industrial processes.
