  • employing high performance HVAC and refrigeration equipment.
  • In this case too, however, any reduction in energy was outperformed by other sustainability initiatives.
  • “organizations such as Starbucks, McDonalds, and Chick-fil-A have partnered with USGBC to achieve the common goal of building a healthy sustainable future.”
  • water conservation, illuminating via LEDs, and sourcing recycled non-toxic materials.
  • Once again, the team at Lucid wants to take this opportunity to emphasize the importance of real-time energy monitoring, especially in buildings with atypical energy uses. Access to real-time energy data and historic comparisons can be an essential tool in understanding the true nature of energy consumption trends.
