Running a building efficiently is no longer optional. Rising energy costs, ESG reporting, and investor scrutiny mean that every facility is under pressure. Yet operators and managers rarely get clear, practical guidance on what actually works, what is hype, and how to pitch projects that will survive the budget process.
The Energy Efficient Facility strips away jargon and sales spin to arm you with the tools to run a better building without breaking the budget. Written by a veteran energy auditor with a few axes to grind, this book delivers field-tested strategies from decades on the job, presented with clarity and blunt honesty that operators will recognize immediately.
Inside you will find:
Checklists and pro tips you can use tomorrow for maintenance, data collection, and energy planning.
Common system optimizations like temperature resets, variable frequency drives, scheduling, economizers, and lighting controls explained in plain language.
Best practices for boilers, chillers, pumps, and air handlers that focus on what matters most to performance and cost.
Tactics for selling projects to management by translating kilowatts and therms into dollars, risk reduction, and compliance.
Red flags to avoid when evaluating vendor claims or chasing magic bullet technologies.
Advanced opportunities such as cogeneration, thermal storage, submetering, and fault detection, broken down for non-specialists.
Whether you manage a single building or a global portfolio, this book will help you cut costs, optimize systems, and keep efficiency gains persistent in a marketplace that demands results.
