The cost of building operations is often viewed largely as fixed, subject primarily to the cost of energy, but studies show that even the best run buildings waste 10% or more in energy costs due to performance inefficiencies or unintended equipment use. The trouble is that the waste is largely invisible. It’s been buried in your energy bill so long that it’s become your building’s baseline, and performance is measured by the lack of complaints. If your building is “working fine”, why risk changing that? The truth is that in large or high-energy use buildings this false baseline can represent a huge potential savings. This “unintended” usage or waste can also result in higher maintenance costs, shortened equipment life, and therefore, incorrect decisions on required capital equipment upgrades.
During this webinar, Ken Daly, the recently-retired president of Marsh & McLennan Real Estate Advisors, will show you the economic impact of poor building performance on your business and your budget, and how to make the case for improving it now . What is the energy savings potential for your building? EH&E’s performance expert, Mike Della Barba, will then show you how to find the signs of decreased building performance and how to assess your building’s savings potential. Mike will discuss the latest tools and strategies for diagnosing hidden inefficiencies, estimating energy savings, and demonstrating improved performance. Using examples from a variety of case studies, he’ll show you the improvements and savings possible in buildings that appear to be “working fine”.
In this webinar you will learn:
-
The subtle (and not so subtle) signs of sub-performance.
-
The reasons why most buildings sub-perform.
-
How to rate your building’s current energy performance.
-
Current technologies for measuring performance.
-
The impact sub-performance can have on your business and your budgets.
-
Building the business case for improvement.
