Power outages in commercial buildings create enormous costs and hardships for business owners, tenants, and employees. Most notably, the cost of outages can include loss in productivity, sales, and product as well as brand damage and safety issues. For these reasons, many commercial buildings incorporate backup power systems — either voluntarily or based on code requirements.
Backup power can help buildings be more resilient, mitigate against financial losses, keep employees and customers safe, provide vital services, or some combination of these goals.
