Energy efficiency measures do not operate in isolation from one another. Accordingly, planning for energy efficiency and executing retrofits should be done with a whole-energy conservation and building performance perspective to ensure cost-effective and efficient performance over the year—and for the long term.

A comprehensive building retrofit has many advantages over implementing measures piecemeal. In a comprehensive retrofit, NRG-FX will assess an entire building or portfolio of buildings and the whole range of efficiency opportunities. Measures that individually may pay for themselves over shorter or longer periods are combined into one package.

• As stated above, systems interact: changing one component always affects the others
• Combining short payback and long payback components creates a logical investment package that still meets established financial criteria
• Including longer payback measures in the retrofit increases your opportunity to renew the equipment that most needs to be replaced
• Working on a larger scale lowers purchasing costs and attracts more supplier competition

If an organization continues to do incremental work by upgrading the lighting in a building, but fails to do other system upgrades, it loses the opportunity to "cross-subsidize" the lighting savings with more capital intensive work like boilers, HVAC, controls, chillers, heat pumps and building envelopes.
