Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency Expenditures

should be seen as Investments

that pay for themselves over and over again

through lower energy costs and increased productivity.

Dramatic energy savings and productivity gains

have been documented in recent studies.

High Performance Buildings:
Costs & Benefits

A comprehensive report
released in 2003 documents
that a 2% increase in upfront costs
to implement high performance,
green designs, will generate,
on average, life cycle savings
of 20% of total construction costs.
The financial return is more than
ten times the initial investment.

We provide a brief summary
of the report, and links
to download the
full 134 page document,
and the 10 page summary.

Case Studies Documented

The City of Seattle, WA
has posted several case studies
that document productivity improvements
when buildings are upgraded for energy efficiency.

Many of the projects listed reported
a payback period of less than 1 year.

In the Face of Rising Energy Costs and Global Warming

Facilities owners cannot afford
to overlook the long-term impact
of purchasing decisions.

Spending an additional $2.00/sq. foot
to receive $20.00/sq. foot
in energy savings and efficiency gains
over 20 years (documented here)
is an excellent return on investment.

As energy costs continue to rise and energy efficiency solutions advance,
the financial rewards for efficiency enhancements will increase.

Integrated Controls
are a critical requirement in Today's High Performance Buildings
that deliver both Energy Efficiency and Productivity Gains.

Maxx Control Networks
has been designing and implementing integrated controls for nearly 10 years.
