Kraus-Anderson Construction Company - Customer Case Study

Kraus-Anderson Construction Company needed a quick, marketable way to differentiate its Gateway Office Plaza in a soft commercial real estate market. The company partnered with EnergyPrint, using EnergyPrint’s benchmarking and integrated ENERGY STAR reporting to monitor building performance and pursue an ENERGY STAR rating.

EnergyPrint’s software let Kraus-Anderson track results and target low‑cost operational changes (efficient bulbs, setback thermostats, blinds management, motion sensors, HVAC scheduling). Using EnergyPrint’s benchmarking, the building cut utility costs by 10.7%, reduced energy consumption by 16.4% and carbon output by 18.4%; its ENERGY STAR score climbed from 72 to 76 (hitting 75 in Jan 2010), and operating cost fell from 24.9¢/ft² to 18.2¢/ft² while kBtu/ft² dropped from 20.081 to 14.613.
