Paul Torcellini, commercial building team leader at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, has worked on a diverse set of smaller retail buildings. He shares real-world examples in which energy conservation benefitted retailers, including a spa in Washington, DC, a visitor’s center/bookstore, a home improvement center, and a pet supply store. Torcellini reviews the decision-making process that determined what efforts made sense, and provide insights on new technologies that enable retail buildings to achieve up to 50 percent energy savings.
