Comments on: Benchmarking? What’s Benchmarking? http://blog.epa.gov/blog/2010/11/benchmarking-what%e2%80%99s-benchmarking/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=benchmarking-what%25e2%2580%2599s-benchmarking EPA's Blog About Our World Fri, 17 May 2013 15:29:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Jonathan Nash http://blog.epa.gov/blog/2010/11/benchmarking-what%e2%80%99s-benchmarking/comment-page-1/#comment-39690 Jonathan Nash Tue, 12 Apr 2011 20:51:05 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=4995#comment-39690 Energy Star is a company that does a broad variety of energy efficiency work. It’s good to hear that Seattle is following the trend set by cities such as Washington D.C. and NYC. Energy benchmarking has actually been around for quite a while, but is being used more frequently now in energy audits of buildings to increase their efficiency.

A lot of interior designers are designing this way for reducing energy-consumption cost.

Start today. and at the same time reduce cost of energy consumption. Use solar panels for schools. Efficient and always available.

Great that buildings that buildings can be certified.

In general most schools suffer from poor ventilation which keeps them overheated in summer as well as winter.

Motion detectors are not truly user friendly. Timing devices are still not as efficient as true need for lighting.

I also don’t know the detail of St. Peter’s Basilica but I think it’s also efficient. In my country, time to time people like to have minimize buildings, also school and its classroom. They are using A/C that wasteful energy and damaged of environmental. It seems Medieval Period Buildings are energy efficient alternatives in the future.
