06 May 2009
Commercial properties whatever purpose they may serve are some of the best candidates for green retro-fitting due to their apparent size and space. Solar panels on the roof to help with lighting gets you and your tenants onto the green revolution. You can even go and get wind turbines to handle more electrical loads that cannot be covered by the solar panels. With these two working together, you’re well on your way to get green and it can even save you in terms of taxes for green buildings are being given such incentives.
Most of the cost can be made up for in terms of savings and it benefits both you and your tenants. The plumbing system can also be given retrofits such as water free urinals, low water volume toilets and more. Certification is through many government agencies so you save in taxes and save the environment allowing your business to turn green and mean to serve both commercial and environmental concerns. It also shows that commercial renters are trying to choose greener spaces so the greener, the better for your business.
