DiscoverEE Webinar: Non-Energy Benefits: Strengthening the Business Case for Energy Efficiency and Decarbonization

Energy efficiency and decarbonization projects are often assessed primarily based on energy savings. However, their value extends far beyond reduced consumption. Non-energy benefits—such as improved comfort, productivity, health, and operational performance—can significantly enhance the overall value, and impact, of these initiatives.

This webinar will explore what non-energy benefits are, why they matter, and how recognizing and quantifying them can strengthen the business case for energy efficiency and decarbonization projects. Participants will gain insights into how these benefits can influence decision-making and support more comprehensive and compelling investment strategies.
