Economic and environmental responsibility begins with the choices we make. Buildings account for 74 percent of all electrical energy consumption, and 40 percent of our nation's primary energy use. Thus knowing how the buildings we live and work in actually perform can help us make more informed decisions, saving both money and the environment. Building metrics are the keys to this new understanding. But what do building metrics actually look like, and how can they be used by building owners, tenants, potential owners and tenants, and the general public?
Join top industry leaders as they discuss what building metrics are, and how to use them to make more informed economic, energy, and environmental choices..
