Building Occupancy and Energy Use


Comparison figure showing the value 69.3% with the label: “Occupancy” below it. Next to it is a short arrow representing the value 15% with the label: “Energy Consumption” below it. A one-sided bracket parenthesis representing the difference in arrow heights has the following text: “Unaddressed energy savings opportunity as a result of WFH.” WFH stands for “Work from Home.”

The Problem

Our research shows that with the shift to hybrid and remote work, office occupancy went down by 70% since 2019. While during this time, building energy use only dropped by 15% — causing energy waste.


The Solution to Lower Energy Waste


  • An In-Depth Energy Assessment: This assessment helps you find ways to reduce energy use in your building.

  • Monthly Workshops: Each month we’ll have workshops to go over how you can make the most out of your building's energy use. As part of this workshop, you'll see how reducing energy can help your business save overall.

  • A Five-Year Action Plan: This plan includes audit reports and policies to help you meet your energy use goals.
