Experts predict that over the next 30 years, the current U.S. building stock of 300 billion square feet will change dramatically, with 52 billion square feet being demolished, 150 billion square feet remodeled and another 150 billion square feet being added.

With more than 500,000 buildings, Government agencies can lead the Nation in energy efficient building design, construction and operation. As a major consumer spending as much as $200 billion annually on products and services, Government agencies can help foster markets for emerging technologies and promote energy efficiency.
