Net Zero Building: Reality or Wishful Thinking?

By Ashley Halligan

Last year, commercial buildings consumed 40 percent of overall energy in the United States. This startling reality is the foundation for the many initiatives being implemented to tackle consumption--including the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007--which requires all federal facilities achieve net zero consumption by the year 2030, and all commercial facilities by 2050.

World marketed energy consumption increases by 49 percent from 2007 to 2035 in the Reference case. Total energy demand in the non-OECD countries increases by 84 percent, compared with an increase of 14 percent in the OECD countries.

What Do You Mean Compressed Air Isn’t Free?  We Use It Everyday!

It is amazing that while there is so much discussion in various media about energy and carbon reduction, most plant personnel fail to realize that there are incredible opportunities for cutting energy waste and carbon gases right under their proverbial noses. These are opportunities that could dramatically improve their company's competitiveness.
