National Energy Consumption
According to U.S. Energy Information Administration and ENERGY
STAR®:
• In 2013, 97.5 quadrillion BTUs of energy were consumed in the U.S.
• Commercial buildings use 19% of that energy consumption nationally
• 30% of energy in buildings is used inefficiently or unnecessarily
• Just a 10% improvement in energy efficiency = $20 billion savings
• The reduced greenhouse gasses from this is equivalent to the
emissions from 30 million vehicles

Behavioral Energy Conservation: McKinsey
According to McKinsey Consulting:
• Overall, the United States of America has the potential
to reduce energy demand by 23% by
focusing on efficiency
• Schools and commercial
buildings can produce most of
their energy savings through
behavioral and low cost
energy efficiency items
• Energy is the second-largest
expense line item for schools
& higher education

Importance of Saving Energy
• Awareness of energy use = better building management & comfort
– Improved performance
– Staff retention
– Reduced insurance and risk related cost
– Fewer respiratory illnesses resulting in improved workplace,
educational quality
• Conserve natural resources — sustainability is important to
students, companies, communities

Importance of Saving Energy
• Energy is the 2nd largest expense line item for most organizations
– Utility prices will increase … driven by environmental regulation,
smart meters, time of use pricing, etc.; Hedge inflation
• Save Money!!
– Why send a big check to the utility every month when 20% – 30% of
that could be retained to use in your organization’s mission
– Money generated through utility budget savings could be redirected
towards the purchase of more efficient equipment .....

The Energy Pyramid
No person would ever consider building a pyramid with the peak first. Rather, a pyramid
is built base first and then layers are added. Likewise, no one should install a renewable
energy project without first implementing programs for energy conservation, energy
efficiency, and energy demand.
TIER 4 — RENEWABLE ENERGY
Last to be implemented. When the system
is modified to use energy efficiently, less
renewable energy is needed.
TIER 3 — ENERGY DEMAND & PROCUREMENT
Shifting energy usage when possible to
periods with less demand on distribution
TIER 2 — ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Purchasing and installing efficient
equipment and processes
TIER 1 — ENERGY CONSERVATION
First implemented. Largely based on
behavioral/operational practices.
Best return on investment.
