FACT: The commercial real estate industry spends
approximately $24 billion annually on energy and contributes 18% of US
carbon dioxide emissions.
FACT: Energy represents the single largest controllable
operating expense for office buildings, typically a third of variable
expenses.
FACT: If only 2,000 buildings adopt BEEP’s
no- and low-cost best practices over the next three years, energy consumption
and carbon emissions will be reduced by 10% which will result in $400
million in energy savings and 6.6 billion pounds less carbon dioxide
released in to the atmosphere.
FACT: YOU should participate.
