According to the EPA, 30% of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted and in a typical building, energy represents 30% of the total costs.
A 2009 UC Berkeley study reported that energy is one of the largest and most manageable operating expenses. The study also found that buildings with an ENERGY STAR Label sell for about 16% more and command roughly 3% higher rental rates than otherwise identical buildings. Not only that, but occupancy and retentions rates were also higher in these labeled buildings.
Additional EPA research shows that ENERGY STAR Labeled buildings consume about 35% less energy and generate 35% less greenhouse gas emissions.
