Why is energy efficiency important for big commercial and business buildings?
1. Cost savings and operational efficiency
- Energy costs are up to 40% of the total operating costs in the commercial buildings.
- By optimizing use of energy, building users may reduce their energy consumption by 20-30%, which has a significant impact on profitability.
- EPC offer a neutral approach in terms of costs, as savings from energy consumption reduction are used to finance the system upgrade, obviating the need of initial capital investment for the owner.
