Calculate and keep track of your building’s energy use. Learn how to choose and evaluate energy efficient improvements in your building.  Most buildings know their energy and water usage as one number: dollars, and expect it to go up every year.  Savvy building owners block out their usage and costs per square foot, and even can separate how much energy they use for heat vs. hot water.  All of this is 4th grade arithmetic, and today, we’ll explain it to managers, executive directors, and accountant/bookkeepers, so you can begin to track and grade your buildings’ consumption of water, electricity, gas, and oil. Attendees will get a sample report card e-mailed to them after the session, so they can see how all of their buildings are performing.
