A typical retail store in a strip mall expends $2 per square foot on electricity each year and in Arizona, most of these energy dollars are spent on lighting and cooling. According to ENERGY STAR^®, reducing energy costs by 10 percent has an equivalent impact on operating income as a 1.26 percent increase in sales for the average retail store.
