It’s electric! Well, it’s actually energy. Energy is becoming one of the fast-growing sectors in the construction industry right now, and how to utilize renewable energy is becoming a common conversation we are having with our partners daily.
Energy-related system demands are increasing exponentially because these systems are now becoming a necessity, not a nice to have. This shift is driven by the buildings’ end users and the code requirements from local and state entities focused on reducing emissions and promoting sustainable practices. According to Bloomberg Green, in the past year alone we’ve seen almost 1 million new electric vehicles hit the road. To put it into perspective – it took the United States 10 years to sell its first million of fully electric vehicles and two years to sell the next million, now it only took 12 months to sell another million.
With the energy demand growing and becoming an integral part of our construction sector, our Energy Manager Mike Kuhn explains some of the trends we are seeing that influence how we strategically approach energy efficiency and renewable energy integration into projects. We’re also focusing on utilizing energy-efficient systems like solar panels and improved insulation to enhance our energy systems.
