THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDICATOR

A global survey of decision makers responsible for energy use in
buildings – examines trends in priorities and practices

•5th annual survey led by the Institute for Building Efficiency,
with the International Facility Manager Association (IFMA)
and the Urban Land Institute (ULI)

•Respondents reached through independent survey
provider Survey.com and members of strategic partner
organizations

•Global surveys completed during March/April 2011,

ENERGY EFFICIENCY MOVING FORWARD IN EUROPE
Challenges and opportunities remain

1. Steady growth
The 2011 survey shows an increasing emphasis on managing
energy, driven by market and policy conditions

2. Energy efficiency in motion
Respondents are taking concrete actions to increase efficiency
and government policy is making an impact on decisions.

3. Challenges and opportunities
There continue to be significant barriers to pursuing energy
efficiency in European buildings. Financial capital and human
capital are limitations.

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

1. Steady growth
Widespread interest in energy, from market, technology and
policy perspectives

2. Energy efficiency in motion
Clear signs of traction in green buildings, government incentives,
and prioritization of strategies

3. Challenges and opportunities
• Executives looking to internal funds, augmented by incentives
…Can external capital unlock more efficiency?
• Need more people to do the work, but slow to hire
…Can external expertise be leveraged for more impact?
