Improving Energy Efficiency for Existing Buildings
Presented by:
Kelly Gearhart, Triple Green Building Group, LLC

According to an article in the ASHRAE Journal, approximately 86% of building construction expenditures relate to renovation of existing buildings, and it has been estimated that over the next 30 years, about half of the entire building stock in the U.S. will need to be renovated. Based on these statistics, it is clear that the greatest opportunity for reduction of primary energy in the U.S. is in existing buildings.

This recorded webinar will present the fundamental and enhanced strategies for improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings and enhancing asset value. With a focus on the commercial building sector, participants will learn about the assessment of energy efficiency opportunities, identification of appropriate technologies and strategies, common roadblocks and strategies for success in upgrading existing building stock. This program is ideal for anyone seeking focused training on the improvement of operations, the reduction of energy costs and the enhancement of occupant comfort as it relates to energy-consuming building systems.
