Lumens Energy focuses in providing resources where it matters. Energy is a basic need. Energy efficiency projects attack the constant cost creep experienced when depending on such primary needs. According to numerous independent studies, a typical energy efficiency project provides an average savings of more than 30% of its annual energy costs. Energy expenditures are one of the largest items for most commercial buildings, which often make up more than 50% of its operating expenses.
With figures so compelling, why is it that so few steps have been taken towards efficiency measures? The need for up-front capital, overall project complexity, and in vast cases the split incentives between building owners and their tenants preclude such opportunities from getting off the ground. Lumens Energy’s solution circumvents these roadblocks.
