There has been a substantial uptick in the pursuit of energy savings projects over the past many months. This is likely because companies have cut back on large capital projects and have focused on improving the bottom line.

A Unique Beast
Building a green retail facility today has become relatively easy. Not to dismiss the process or say it’s a walk in the park, but compared to building the first LEED retail shopping center in the U.S. back in 2003-2004 (Abercorn Common), today’s designers, code officials and especially tenants have a much greater understanding of sustainable design, LEED certification and green building technologies.

Paying the Way
Over the past year, there has been a sea change in the recognition of the importance of energy efficiency by facility owners, business leaders, policy-makers and investors: President Obama calls it sexy, venture capitalists are banking on it to be this year’s cleantech darling (investment is up 39 percent), and businesses and homeowners are eager to take on the cash rewards and electricity savings that energy efficiency retrofits promise.
