With the right mix of expert consulting and financing, city officials can reap thousands of dollars in annual energy savings from community recreation centers with little or no up-front cost.
Because of their unique attributes and as large consumers of energy, recreation centers present the greatest opportunity for energy savings, even for centers built within the last decade.
But there’s more to this than just saving a buck. Building “green” and limiting our carbon footprint is vitally important for citizens throughout the country. Reducing energy use in recreation centers--the number-one energy hog among public buildings--honors a community’s environmental ethic, even during dismal economic times.
