WRI Supports Movement for Cleaner, More Efficient Buildings at Global Climate Action Summit
Building efficiency measures can make an enormous impact on greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
Performance Management
Implementing best practices in operations can significantly improve building efficiency. Today’s technologies create unprecedented energy data for analysis and action. The performance of building systems, operational changes and maintenance efforts can be tracked over time. These technology tools will be transformative if we continue to evolve our energy management practices, review the data, build our plans and act on new information. The goal? Bringing people and technology together to improve building performance.
