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.

Planet Footprint will share it's experience from continuous work with 180 local governments and 104 energy and water utilities, to help your city fight multisite insanity and get on with reducing energy and water costs, usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
