Energy Performance of Buildings - Facts Business can benefit from gaining better energy ratings, there are the obvious benefits for the environment with lower CO2 emissions, however if your company runs in an energy efficient manner, then your energy bills can be reduced, thus lowering your business overheads, and add to profitability. Wasting energy through the use of inefficient plant/equipment and methods of control will impact on costs.
