Free Webinar: Getting a Grip on Energy and Water Data
Tuesday, May 04, 2010
Having on-demand information about organization-wide energy, water and fleet usage, costs and greenhouse gas emissions is fundamental to saving money on utility bills and improving environmental performance. Local governments struggle to get that information due to the complexities of collecting and managing utility and other data for dozens or hundreds of facilities, accounts and meters. The result is that staff spend too much time struggling with measurement and reporting, and not enough time actually improving performance. Sadly, many small cities give up on tracking energy, water and environmental performance altogether.
This does not have to be the case. Read more and register for free webinar on Thu May 20, 2010 at 2pm Eastern.
