Why Commercial Buildings?
1/3 of current construction private, non-residential 10% are office buildings Over $500 billion annually spent on office building construction in 2009 & 2010
Buildings are #1 CO2 Emission Sector:
40% Primary Energy Usage
72% Electricity Consumption
39% CO2 Emissions

Why Commercial Buildings?
Financial Benefits 9% decrease in operating costs 8% building value increase 7% improvement on ROI 4% increase in occupancy ratio 3% increase in rental rates
