Energy consumption generates greenhouse gases (GHG) and accounts for a significant business expense. By implementing energy efficiency measures and practices, businesses get more value from the energy they purchase while lessening their impact on the environment.

Many opportunities exist for municipal arenas to decrease energy consumption and realize cost savings. The energy efficiency measures listed include recommendations for upgrades that can improve aesthetics, enhance user experience and lower maintenance costs. All of these measures should be evaluated for each individual building first by a professional and a comprehensive energy audit may be beneficial.
