One of the largest challenges for facility managers in establishing ENERGY STAR® as the design standard for their organizations is proving the value of the savings to key decision makers. This session will showcase projects from Memorial Hermann Health System, Ascension Health, and Mercy Health, and present data to quantify the costs and savings associated with the decision to design to this standard.

Learning Objectives:

Discover the potential costs associated with designing to achieve ENERGY STAR® certification
Explain the potential savings associated with the use of ASHE’s commissioning process, energy modeling, and measurement and verification
Describe the typical payback for a project designed to achieve ENERGY STAR® certification
Provide quantified data that can be presented to key decision makers to justify the use of ENERGY STAR® certification as a best practice design standard
