We are proud to celebrate Earth Day, today and everyday, in our mission of preparing today’s buildings to meet tomorrow’s challenges. “The secret to success for building owners or operators that want to implement energy-efficient practices in their buildings now, is not expensive retrofits. It’s investing in software solutions that provide an actionable and holistic understanding of how a building system performs in real-time, and over time, across various quantitative and qualitative measures. With access to this layer of data visibility, building owners and operators can inform more intelligent decision-making across space planning, portfolio management, systems and equipment performance, operational workflows, and building maintenance, which in turn can drive significant energy savings.”~ Jennifer Nuckles, R-Zero Chairperson & CEO.

Unlocking energy efficiency isn't about breaking the bank on retrofits; it's about harnessing the power of data-driven solutions. On this Earth Day, let's empower building owners with the tools they need to make smarter, greener decisions for a sustainable future. #EarthDay #EnergyEfficiency #DataDriven

How can you reduce operational carbon by up to 70%? Digital building and power management solutions can reduce up to 42% of emissions according to research done by WSP with Facility Executive magazine. Making digital solutions and assets the way forward steers us away from fossil fuels while streamlining management through fully digital buildings.

Here at The Building People, environmental protection, sustainability, and energy efficiency are integral to the work that we perform. Embracing sustainability and committing to a carbon-neutral future is a fundamental business practice for many companies. Across our portfolio, we’re helping organizations embrace these practices and prepare their infrastructure to meet the future of facilities today.

Is your building energy efficient? Beyond the financial savings, having an energy-efficient commercial building helps create a sustainable future, improve operational resilience and promote environmental stewardship. While the advantages of energy efficiency are many and significant, here are 6 top reasons why your commercial building should be energy efficient. #VerticalSystems #VerticalSystemsHVAC #HVACSystem #EnergyEfficiency #EnergyEfficient #EnergyEfficientBuilding #HighEnergyEfficiency #HVACEfficiency #Sustainable

Buildings account for up to 75% of city-wide greenhouse gas emissions in most cities across the U.S. As sustainability and decarbonization efforts ramp up across the country, building performance legislation and mandates push building owners to move the needle toward increased energy conservation. McKinstry is committed to advancing a zero-carbon future and has worked collaboratively with clients across the country to achieve compliance with their building performance standards. https://lnkd.in/gX8KnG6V #EnergyAwarenessMonth #CleanEnergyActionMonth

Tom Mills (host of GreenShortz): I'm with Gretchen Sweeney, and she is part of the USGBC LEED Team, LEED of course being a building certification program, certify buildings' performance, but a certification is only as good as that performance, right? Gretchen: That's correct. #BuildingPerformance #DynamicPlaque #EnergyUsageMonitor #GreenLiving #LEED

In a recent article CBRE explores how mandatory building performance standards aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions have been steadily gaining momentum in state and local jurisdictions. Forward-looking building owners must understand the business risks of noncompliance. Penalties range from reputational (via public disclosure) to significant fines. And these penalties are only likely to rise. But CBRE highlights a key benefit for companies that meet these standards as well as tenant and stakeholder expectations: “The sooner both owners and occupiers unite on their sustainability efforts, the greater the combined impact will be. Shared responsibility for sustainable and energy-efficient building operations is not only essential but also a key to achieving long-term success in creating a more resilient built environment.” Read more via CBRE below:  https://lnkd.in/gEgj6tZh And learn more about how you can make your organization more resilient and energy efficient by partnering with us at Redaptive.com #decarbonization #netzero #energyefficiency #buildings #realestate

“The approach requires significantly increasing building energy efficiency, reducing onsite building emissions, transforming the grid edge at buildings, and reducing building life cycle emissions – all while prioritizing equity, affordability and resilience,” according to a DOE report. Since #buildings are responsible for 40 percent of global #emissions, institutional and #commercial #facilities play a vital role in achieving that goal, but there are many signs that the U.S. is behind in those efforts. An expert on existing buildings said at a conference a year ago that at the current rate, it will take 60 years to retrofit all current buildings to achieve #decarbonization.  “There are plenty of existing buildings with lots of work to be done on improving their basic #energy #efficiency,” says Alexi Miller, the director of building innovation at New Buildings Institute.
