I've declared my love for acronyms in a previous post, aptly titled 'I Love Acronyms'. Today my energy efficient side and my acronym-loving side were happy to read about BOMA's (Building Owners and Managers Association) BEEP (the BOMA Energy Efficiency Program). BOMA's BEEP has been focusing on "low and no cost" strategies for energy efficiency on office buildings. If BEEP goals are met the 9 billion square feet of office and retail space in the U.S. would cut energy consumption one third by 2012. BEEP estimates that the 33% cut in energy consumption "equates to $7.2 billion, and is readily achievable simply by improving building operating standards."
If the goals are in fact met I would have to declare BEEP one of my BEEPs (Best Energy Efficiency Plans) for sure!
BEEP BEEP!!!
