Comfort, safety and efficiency enhance productivity, performance, customer satisfaction and brand image.

Buildings that work offer environments occupants enjoy, where they can be more productive, and which enhance the appeal and marketability of the buildings themselves. Studies show that comfortable, well-ventilated, well-lit, safe workplaces increase productivity as much as 16 percent and job satisfaction as much as 24 percent, while reducing absenteeism. What’s true for workplaces is also true for schools. Students perform better, score higher on standardized tests and miss fewer school days. At colleges and universities, a quality campus environment provides a place students enjoy living and learning. That’s important because two-thirds of college students select their college or university based on curb appeal. It’s also a powerful tool for attracting and retaining an excellent faculty.

Customers of all kinds are creating and maintaining quality building environments and doing so affordably and sustainably. For example, as a result of a broad range of energy and water conservation measures, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst realized savings that enabled it to reduce a deferred maintenance backlog and invest in campus improvements to enhance its reputation for academic excellence. Houghton-Portage Township Schools in Houghton, Michigan implemented a comprehensive multi-year project to transform its classrooms and buildings into superior learning environments. Savings from energy efficiency upgrades helped pay for the project, and the district gained public support for a bond referendum that provided additional needed funding.

You can achieve results like these, too.

For example, by replacing outdated equipment and installing state-of-the-art heating and cooling systems and controls, you can maximize comfort while minimizing energy and water consumption and costs. By implementing the latest lighting technologies, you can create welcoming, appealing, safe interior spaces and outdoor areas. By deploying state-of-the-art security systems for access control and video surveillance, you can better protect employees and visitors, as well as valuable building assets. And you can optimize building efficiency, comfort and safety by utilizing our Metasys® building management system to control and integrate key mechanical and electrical building systems.

And the good news is, facility improvements that create quality environments can be funded by the resulting energy and operational savings.
