Case Study 4: Retail Store Chain Expansion

Client

National retail store chain with a new 30,000-square-foot store in Atlanta, Georgia.

Project

New store construction with energy-efficient building design.

Details

The company decided to build the store using energy-efficient materials and systems from the ground up.
The project included high-performance windows, upgraded insulation, and an advanced lighting system that uses motion sensors to adjust based on foot traffic.

Outcome

The store achieved a 25% improvement in energy performance relative to the baseline established by ASHRAE 90.1 standards.
The company claimed a $75,000 179D deduction for the new store, resulting in tax savings and operational cost reductions.
The store was promoted as a "green" facility, attracting eco-conscious customers.
