As Green Building Speaker, Yudelson Makes the Business Case for Green Buildings
When you consider that people costs are about 100 times energy costs and 10 times rent in a typical situation, any contribution that green buildings with daylighting and better indoor quality can make to increasing employee productivity have a far greater impact on the economics of green than saving even 100 percent of the energy costs. Most research studies are showing 3 to 5 percent gains in productivity, which means that the increased gain from employee well being is three to five times the entire energy bill. Throw in public relations, marketing and employee recruitment/retention benefits, all of which are demonstrably present, and you have a compelling business case for green buildings. There’s a lot more that I talk about; you can see and hear more on the website.
