The Dollars and Sense of Green RetrofitsSooner is better than later, and it could cost less than you think |
A growing number of companies are implementing green retrofits of their buildings to save money, improve productivity, lower absenteeism and health care costs, strengthen employee attraction and retention, and improve their corporate sustainability reports and brand equity – all at a relatively modest cost.
