Event Details

What building operators do is a major behavior behind commercial building energy use. Technical studies estimate that changes in operations could save up to thirty percent of building energy use at low cost.  These changes could yield tremendous reductions in California GHG emissions, but such changes are often not made. This presentation reports on the results of a social science-based study investigating building operations and energy use, highlighting building-level, policy, and research strategies that can help reduce commercial building energy use and potentially even improve indoor environmental conditions.
