• Financial analysis of energy efficient measure options to help with decision making in design
• A more comfortable and energy efficient environment for employees and customers
• Financial incentives that help to offset cost for installing the recommended improvements
• Energy efficient design choices that can be made at the beginning of the project which will save energy for years to come, avoiding costly retrofits later
