In the moderately populated but energy intensive US. buildings consume 36 of the country's energy supply, and each year run up an energy bill of nearly $200 billion. Commercial buildings alone have an annual bill of $80 billion. Aside from being expensive, energy takes a tremendous toll on the environment. The energy that powers our appliances and heats, cools and lights are buildings produces 500 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, with two tons of carbon for every person in the us. Yet studies show that the energy efficiency of buildings could double by 2022, cutting carbon emissions in half and saving $100 billion dollars a year.
