Cobb Hill’s Weatherization Team and staff are constantly attending training classes and seminars on new products, techniques and methods that will improve a building’s comfort and efficiency. Our experience in building and remodeling homes and offices has given us a wealth of knowledge of best practices.

In these pages, we will share what we have learned and constantly update the information as we learn new things and test out new products and techniques so please return often. These energy saving tips are also valid in the summer to help reduce cooling costs.

This winter reduce your energy bill by taking a whole-building approach to heating.

Commercial buildings run the gamut from small retail stores to corporate buildings and office parks.  The also include multi-family apartment buildings, schools,  hospitals, and universities. 

The Department of Energy (DOE) states that despite their differences, commercial buildings share a large and growing appetite for energy. They account for 18 percent of total U.S. energy consumption. In a typical office building, energy use accounts for 30 percent of operating costs, the largest single category of controllable costs.

The design and construction of energy-smart buildings offers tangible benefits to building owners and occupants and our nation as a whole. Building owners can lower their energy costs by 50 percent or more while lessening maintenance and capital costs. When successful, building occupants realize increased comfort, health and productivity and our nation conserves energy resources and enjoys cleaner air and a healthier environment. 

The key to an energy efficient commercial building is it air tightness and insulation levels. Cobb Hill can weatherize commercial structures to increase the comfort and efficiency levels of the building. We can improve the efficiency of any size commercial structure.
