It is hard to believe that this means more owners, legislators and policy makers still do not know that energy improvements are an excellent investment. Would not you commit 30,000 and $ 250,000 in fees to save later?
Are there investors do not think it was a good performance? Certainly think Chris Martin, director of energy management at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, so. He led one of 14 teams from across the country who participated in a contest sponsored by EPA Biggest Loser style, weight scales for energy, according to the New York times.The Chapel Hill team spent $ 30,000 to upgrade dormitory on campus, and the wound run to reduce energy costs $ 250,000, largely through the adaptation of the heating and cooling in moderate to slow. Together, the use of school energy costs 36%.
The University is committed residents of the room in the process. CityBiz magazine said one of the touch-screen computers in the dorm hall was set up so students could monitor energy consumption. Each floor has a contest for Energy and reminders were posted in elevators, bathrooms and common areas.
