Existing buildings outnumber new construction 99 to 1 and all buildings account for nearly 40% of U.S. energy use and carbon emissions. Targeted strategies for greening operations during retrofits are increasingly possible and will be generically reviewed.  Sustainability, however, is not a one-time action, but requires a continuous cycle in facility management and occupant education that is good for the environment and good for the bottom line.  Achieving continuous greening is presented in the framework of current metric systems.
