Definition
To improve efficiency,
↑ output or ↓ input
Generally requires an investment (time/money)
So why increase efficiency?
Different businesses, different motivators
Efficiency

Motivation
Efficiency improvements often
make systems work better (or as intended),
increasing:
• Comfort
• Safety
• Productivity
Building Occupants

Motivation
Increase property quality and value
• Survey of efficiency projects (2010)
• Survey of “green” labeled offices (2009)
- Rent 3% higher
- Selling price 16% higher
Business Investment
Benefit New Retrofit
Lower Operating Costs 13% 8%
Higher Building Value 11% 7%
Better ROI 10% 19%

Motivation
• Lower use = lower bills
• Avoid surcharges
• Reduce impact of rate increases
• Reduce maintenance costs
=
Cost Reduction / Avoidance
