It Is Easy Being Green

Kermit the Frog once said, "It’s not easy being green."

No disrespect to Kermit, but we believe it’s actually quite easy being green.

In preparation for Earth Day on April 22, we’re taking a closer look at how commercial buildings contribute to pollution levels and what we can do about it.

Commercial buildings play a bigger role in climate change than many people realize. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, commercial and residential buildings are responsible for about 13% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from electricity and fuel use. But what most people don’t realize is that a surprising amount of that energy is actually wasted. This waste primarily comes from systems running unnecessarily, poor scheduling, and conflicting setpoints that no one sees because they don’t have the right tools to catch them.

This is where Resolute Building Intelligence shines: we make the invisible, visible. Our platform connects to your building automation system and cleans, organizes, and analyzes your building data—so you can finally see where energy is being wasted and where small changes can have a big impact. On average, our customers reduce their energy use and carbon footprint by 30%.

There’s a lot of information—and pressure—out there about how to “go green.” But this Earth Day, start with something simple and powerful: understanding how your building operates. Because you can’t fix what you can’t see.

Now someone just has to tell Kermit: "With the right tools, being green is easier than ever."
