<p>This company, Blue Penguin (bluepenguin.com), says they can reduce building energy consumption by 20% in 12 months and they offer a money back guarantee. They do this through collection and analysis of megadata in buildings. They&#39;ve got an impressive client list.</p>

<p>GSA HQ is cutting workstation energy consumption by 30% using the HiSaver surge protector (available on GSA Schedule). This power strip has a sensor attached, which senses when there is no human moving at the workstation, and shuts down peripherals after a specifiec time period of inactivity, and also shuts down the standby power when the user powers down the workstation. I&#39;d like to get in touch with people who are either using it now, or want to know more about it</p>

Retro-Commissioning also uncovers building pressurization problems that also requires additional energy consumption to cool outside air drawing through doors and windows.

Retro-Commissioning of existing buildings uncovers often over-looked wasted energy consumption. We have found outside air dampers improperly set to allow more CFM than building usage requires. thus requiring additional energy to heat and/or cool outside
