Energy-Efficient Construction Helps Global Factories Reduce Costs, Risks

Western multinational companies are looking to save on energy costs and have found that going green helps, according to this article that looks at steps being taken in Asia in particular. For instance, Intel, which has a $1 billion plant in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, built green, including solar arrays, even though there were no green-building standards in the country. It has found that its plant energy retrofits and commitment to sustainable building have saved $111 million since 2008. In addition to cost savings, building to green standards "has a lot to do with risk mitigation," according to an executive at the World Green Building Council.
