A new study from the National Trust for Historic Preservation found that widespread efficiency efforts among the 4.4 million small buildings across the country could save $30 billion per year in energy costs. The study says small commercial buildings (50,000 square feet and smaller) offer "substantial and immediate energy efficiency opportunities and cost savings. Profitable […]

The energy efficient ripple effect is taking place in New England. While individual efficiency projects continue to grow, they accumulate across a regional grid, where efficiency savings add up quickly, as New England’s grid operator recently discovered. During the ISO-NE’s energy efficiency forecast the multi-state outlook saw a $260 million savings due to state and private programs […]

Saving with energy-efficient lighting is more than just updating technology; it’s also about how long the lights stay on. Occupancy sensors detect activity within a certain area, so they provide convenience by turning lights on automatically when someone enters a room, and reduce lighting energy use by turning lights off soon after the last occupant […]

According to a new study, the widespread adoption of LED lamps will create a global energy savings worth $100 billion over the next five years. IMS Research found that a rapid uptake of retrofit LED lamps has a huge potential market. On average, lighting accounts for about 19 percent of the world’s current energy usage. […]
