Energy Efficiency Tips For Commercial Buildings

Written by A. Borrelli Mechanical on 02.26.19

commercial-buildingsNearly one-fifth of all the energy consumed in the United States is used by commercial buildings. Cutting down the amount of energy wasted by a commercial building can save businesses a substantial amount of money.

Here’s how commercial buildings can significantly reduce their overall costs:

  • Replace incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient CFL or LED bulbs to promote greater energy-efficiency.
  • Use shades and blinds to control direct sun through windows in summer to avoid an increase in temperature.
  • Raise the temperature by a few degrees in the summer.
  • Install solar shading features on east-, west- and south-facing facades.
  • Save up to 25% on energy by making sure that areas in front of vents are clear of furniture and paper to allow for more airflow.
  • Use high-efficiency light-emitting diode (LED) exit signs that have lower maintenance costs due to their extended life.
