Overview: Investment decisions involving energy efficiency measures (EEMs) in commercial real estate are complex issues, particularly in new construction projects where myriad factors affect costs and benefits. The tremendous varieties in EEM options make the decision to invest attractive, while at the same time complicating the final choice of a particular EEM. Every building and every investor have their own particular needs, so the standardization of energy efficiency valuation is by definition extremely difficult. Manufacturers provide impressive energy savings statistics, but the numbers are usually based on ideal testing situations. Interpolation of the data to reflect a particular projects needs thus relies on trail-and-error experience from previous projects an inexact science at best.
