Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption; new whitepaper from MSA Safety explains how advanced technologies can help reduce energy usage by double-digit rates.

There is probably not a building occupant alive that has never been guilty of wasting energy. As for the buildings themselves? Many are double-digit energy hogs most of the time. In fact, according to the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE), buildings account for about 40% of total energy consumption.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that there are plenty of ESOs (Energy Saving Opportunities). And, by combining a good action plan with advanced technologies, it’s likely building owners like you can reduce energy usage at double-digit rates.

Metering allows building owners to identify ESOs, so they can be proactive in taking corrective actions to improve building efficiency and engage tenants in energy-saving initiatives. Data center energy metering is critical and building energy efficiency requires a cost-effective solution.
