Flooring can help facilities reduce fossil fuel consumption on a day-to-day basis in a number of ways, including:
• Brighter colored flooring in a low-gloss, matte sheen can improve patients’ visual ability and safety while improving facility energy efficiency
• Resinous flooring systems can reduce the energy used by floor maintenance machines
