A few cost-effective retrofits can save a staggering 85% of lighting electricity demand, according to the Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics at Carnegie Mellon University. A new study combines post-occupancy evaluations, lighting controls projects, and published research linking health, productivity, resource conservation, and environmental improvements to high performance building systems. The result: six solutions that reflect first cost, energy and carbon savings, maintenance needs, and human health and performance benefits. The study also aims to quantify the dollar value of reduced emissions and improved health. Could one of these retrofits make a difference on your energy bill?
