by Rebecca Walker — December 25, 2009—Reno Contracting, a leading general contractors in Southern California, has launched Reno ESP (Efficient Sustainable Practices), a business group providing a complete range of environmentally friendly building services to the commercial real estate market. Reno ESP was formed to help commercial building owners enhance the energy and environmental efficiencies of their new and existing buildings while driving down operating costs.
To introduce Reno ESP and its alliance of contractors, Reno is offering a free Energy Star benchmark to Southern California building owners. Reno Contracting is one of the top LEED contractors in San Diego, notes the company. Reno ESP builds on that unique level of experience, said Fegley, a LEED accredited professional, one of 12 working at the company.
National studies show that Energy Star rated buildings command a 10 percent premium over non-retrofit buildings, while LEED-certified retrofitted buildings command price premiums averaging 31 percent higher than non-retrofitted buildings.
Lower energy costs furthermore help owners weather the current economic downturn.
