Top 5 Worst Excuses NOT to go “green”

1. I would love to embrace “green” energy ideas, but I already have a traditional mechanical system in place.
2. Solar panels and other “green” energy ideas sound great, but we’re not ready for something drastic like that.
3. I don’t have the money to spend for a “green” mechanical system for my new construction or improvements for my older system.
4. I am very hesitant to attach a long-term obligation to my facility by financing the mechanical improvements I need.
5. As long as I don’t know about any air or water quality problems in my facility, how can anyone hold me responsible for any related health issues that occur?

I would love to embrace “green” energy ideas, but I already have a traditional mechanical system in place.

Traditional mechanical systems can be more “green” as well. Outdated building practices and older or poorly conceived mechanical systems often contribute to inefficiencies that waste energy, water, and other resources. Our environment pays the price for this waste, and so you do – every month when you pay your bills.

Solar panels and other “green” energy ideas sound great, but we’re not ready for something drastic like that.

Alternative energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal, are important technologies for a “green” future, but a lot of people don’t realize that there are many ways that new and existing facilities can be more environmentally friendly. For instance, even by simply replacing your emergency “EXIT” lights, you can $50 worth of energy per year, per sign. There are many small steps like this, and the benefits add up to significant energy economy.

I am very hesitant to attach a long-term obligation to my facility by financing the mechanical improvements I need.

Mechanical system maintenance is a long-term obligation, and the cost of making your mechanical improvements will increase every year you put them off. By delaying, you are incurring expense down the road while you endure the potentially unhealthy conditions and added utility costs of a poorly performing mechanical system.

As long as I don’t know about any air or water quality problems in my facility, how can anyone hold me responsible for any related health issues that occur?

The building owner and operator are liable for the conditions inside the facility whether or not they are aware of any problems. As a building owner, it’s your legal and ethical responsibility to ensure a safe environment for your occupants.
