Thu, 28 May 2009 11:11:17 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=168959998 Sustaining energy conservation in buildings depends largely on using building automation systems to monitor and control equipment and operations. Energy Star notes that where an owner invests in upgraded energy systems and technologies, these incurred costs can achieve a 20 to 30 percent ROI, with minimal risk, considering that ongoing operating costs represent 50 to 80 percent of a building's total life cycle costs over an estimated 40-year life span. However, controlling operating expense increases affects more than just cash flow. A building automation system enables continuous and adequate maintenance ensuring the building is operating optimally.
