Energy Management Strategies: Focus on the Bottom Line First
Studies estimate that 30% of the energy in office buildings is wasted due to system inefficiencies. Finding and eliminating these areas of inefficiency is one of the most significant ways building owners are reducing energy consumption and lowering operating expenses. In this webcast, you will learn different strategies owners are using to measure, analyze, report, and manage building energy demand and consumption, resulting in up to 30% lower energy costs across their portfolios.
Our panel of real estate and energy experts will discuss:
- Why you should conduct an energy audit
- What low-cost and no-cost measures you can implement today
- When you should consider system re-commissioning, retrofits, or new equipment
- What solutions are available to provide real-time energy reporting
- How to take advantage of government and utility company incentives

Advanced Lighting Solutions: Save 50-75% of Lighting Costs
Lighting is one of the areas where owners and managers can have the greatest impact on reducing energy consumption in office buildings. Advanced lighting solutions enable the most efficient use of lighting, providing such solutions as daylight harvesting, individual lighting preferences, task tuning, occupancy sensors, and more. Also, breakthrough technologies such as LED lighting will change the way we think about lighting performance, reliability, and energy consumption.
Our panel of lighting and operations experts will discuss:
- What types of advanced lighting strategies provide the greatest value
- How to “phase-in” advanced lighting systems and controls
- How to integrate lighting strategies with other building systems and controls to achieve maximum value
- How savings in lighting costs contribute to the overall asset value of your property
- What financial strategies you can use to offset the cost of lighting upgrades, such as tenant improvements, pass-throughs, government incentives, utility rebates, etc.

Carrots and Sticks: Incentives in the Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy
Keeping up with legal requirements and incentives in the new “carbon economy” can be challenging.

We will present an overview of major federal and state legislative actions, including carbon emission reporting and disclosure requirements, building labeling and related energy performance rating systems, tax incentives, and utility rebate programs.
Our panel of legal and government experts will discuss:
- How best to prepare your portfolio for the “carrots and the sticks”
- Why getting a handle on your carbon footprint really matters to you and your tenants
- Why carbon reduction programs can be good for business
