Did you know? In the United States, there are approximately 5.9 million commercial buildings, collectively occupying a staggering 96 billion square feet of floor space! 🏢✨ That's right! Since 1979, there has been a significant increase of 56% in the number of commercial buildings and an astounding 89% increase in floor space. 📈 At Big Shine Energy, we understand the importance of energy efficiency in commercial spaces. With such a vast footprint across the nation, optimizing energy usage in these buildings is paramount for sustainability and cost-effectiveness. 💡💼

Aging infrastructure doesn’t just impact efficiency—it increases costs, energy consumption, and poses safety risks. At Limbach we tackle these challenges by integrating eco-friendly technologies that enhance reliability, reduce maintenance, and prioritize sustainability. #Sustainability #Infrastructure #EcoFriendly #EnergyEfficiency #BuildingSolutions #Innovation #Safety #GreenTech #Construction #Optimization

♻ 🏘 How can we accelerate the #retrofit of existing buildings to reduce emissions & adapt to #ClimateChange? 🌍 📅 Join our colleagues Sanne de Wit, Sebastien Delpont and Christian Richter on Thursday 7th at the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) Forum for our "Renovation of the Global Building Stock at Scale" session. The session will introduce practical, proven, and #scalable deep-retrofit approaches, showcasing their success in improving building performance to #NearZero standards. The objective of the session is to explore successful examples that address the challenge of rapidly achieving near-zero emissions and creating a climate-resilient existing building stock. Participants will learn about existing strategies and the proof of concept implementation of measures resulting in significant energy savings, carbon reduction, and social benefits, while enhancing overall building performance through scalable retrofit solutions. #BuildForClimate Ministère Écologie Territoires German Energy Agency (dena)

Will you be at BuildingEnergy Boston? Join us tomorrow and Wednesday (March 19th-20th) at this Boston event for high-performance building & sustainable energy professionals & practitioners! New Ecology Senior Energy Engineer Neil Donnelly and Energy Engineer Charlie Simek will be speaking on Tuesday at 10:30 am on Equitable, Data Driven, Domestic Hot Water Decarbonization (link in bio). While electrification of domestic hot water is picking up steam, outdated sizing guidelines result in oversized, expensive, and inefficient systems, especially in affordable multifamily housing. New Ecology’s data, from over 20 affordable multifamilyhousing sites, reveals differences between the measured loads and traditional sizing guidelines, presenting opportunities for higher system efficiency, reduced operating costs, and lower first costs as these buildings move to electrify their domestic hot water. See you there! #BEBOS24

WORLD GREEN BUILDING WEEK 2024: REDUCE, ELECTRIFY, ADAPT | Don’t underestimate the time an electrification feasibility will take for your asset. 3 industry leaders from across Tetra Tech High Performance Buildings Group, Nick Thurlow, Global Market Sector Leader for Existing Offices for NDY; Laurence Johnson, Director of Hoare Lea's Utility & Energy Infrastructure group; and Zoe Roberts, Senior Energy Consultant with Glumac, met last week to talk about the challenges and barriers our clients are facing when it comes to electrifying their existing assets along with some of the solutions to these issues. In today’s snippet we cover off what you should have at the end of an electrification feasibility study: a suite of projects with timelines. This doesn’t replace the design phase; you’re still going to spend time and coordination efforts implementing projects. But, understanding which to prioritize is hugely impactful on the sequence and extracting an overall picture.

Did you know that the buildings account for 37% of global energy-related emissions? We always want to design buildings to be as efficient as possible, but what we can't decrease, we need to decarbonise. It is World Green Building Week and it is clearer than ever that we need to shift to electricity today for a zero-carbon future. Check out the below from the Tetra Tech High Performance Buildings Group where three industry leaders met to talk about all things electrification. #WorldGreenBuildingWeek2024
