PositivEnergy Practice developed energy retrofit ‘Road Maps’ for 2 suburban office buildings and 19 office and hospitality properties participating in the City of Chicago’s Retrofit Chicago Commercial Buildings Initiative. Each Road Map presented a detailed business case to help the building owner/manager/operations team identify energy conservation measures and improvements that would help achieve the building’s commitment to reduce energy consumption by 20% over 5 years. For approximately 18 million sf of building space, Road Maps leveraged $5 million in incentives from the state and local utilities; 10% average internal rate of return on investment; 24% average energy reduction; total savings of 356,000,000 kBTU/yr of energy.
