Reducing energy use in older large buildings.

Author(s) : ARNOLD D.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

This article is about energy-reducing measures attempted and carried out in three large office buildings in Chicago.

The larger the building, the greater the amount of energy needed to provide comfort for the occupants and meet power demands of modern business. Buildings are typically replaced at a rate of 1% per year. However, large buildings tend to be kept in use longer, and even longer if they become national monuments. Older buildings also use more energy. For example, pre-1980 office buildings in the United States use 10% to 15% more energy on average than post-1980.
