Grasping
the possibilities of energy efficiency

air conditioning and ventilation systems increase in use, electricity
consumption is rising at a higher rate than other energy usage.

in mind there is a need for building and facility managers to consider a move

number of steps that can be taken, including gaining an understanding and
control of buildings’ energy use through the implementation of building
management systems and upgrades to existing technologies to improve operations.
