The findings suggest a new, untapped resource for reducing the state’s energy needs through efficiency measures. The report, Untapped Potential of Commercial Buildings: Energy Use and Emissions, suggests that energy use by commercial buildings could be reduced by up to 80 percent through energy efficiency measures, based on national averages. Simple energy efficiency improvements to existing buildings, such as insulating window films, yield three dollars in savings on average for every dollar invested. Existing building stock represents the greatest opportunity for ... (Read Full Article)
