Buildings in the U.S. consume 40% of all energy, with energy costs representing about a third of variable building operating costs. Studies show that preventative maintenance programs can reduce energy usage by 12-18% compared to reactive programs, and Energy Star rated buildings have 10-20% lower operating costs than non-rated buildings. Nearly half of office building energy costs go towards heating and cooling.
