BEEP Quick Facts
- FACT: The commercial real estate industry spends approximately $24 billion annually on energy and contributes 18% of US carbon dioxide emissions.
- FACT: Energy represents the single largest controllable operating expense for office buildings, typically a third of variable expenses.
- FACT: If only 2,000 buildings adopt BEEP’s no- and low-cost best practices over the next three years, energy consumption and carbon emissions will be reduced by 10% which will result in $400 million in energy savings and 6.6 billion pounds less carbon dioxide released in to the atmosphere.
