The Energy Efficient Facility

Running a building efficiently is no longer optional. Rising energy costs, ESG reporting, and investor scrutiny mean that every facility is under the microscope. But operators and managers rarely get clear, practical guidance on what works, what does not, and how to make the case for projects that will actually get funded.

The Energy Efficient Facility cuts through the jargon and sales pitches to give you the tools you need to run a better building without breaking the budget. Written by Andrew Vaillencourt, CEA, this book delivers real-world strategies from decades in the field, presented with the clarity and blunt honesty that operators appreciate.

Inside you will find:

•Checklists you can use tomorrow for maintenance, data collection, and planning.
•Plain-language explanations of boilers, chillers, lighting, and controls that focus on what matters most.
•Tactics for selling projects to management by speaking their language.
•Red flags to avoid when evaluating new technology or vendor claims.
•Advanced opportunities like cogeneration, thermal storage, and submetering explained for non-specialists.

Whether you manage a single building or a global portfolio, this book will help you cut costs, improve performance, and stay efficient in a marketplace that demands it.
