What is energy sustainability?

30906508-man-holds-smdg1002It is an energy optimization strategy that seeks to use energy so that the needs of future generations are not compromised. There are dozens of sustainability programs ranging from the politically-focused United Nations-led Earth Charter Declaration to the 'nuts and bolts' approach of the United States Green Building Council's LEED program.


How does a small or medium-sized company begin an energy sustainability strategy?

Leaves-nutsTake the chestnut approach. Start small and let the process grow through your company. Our experience with LightSavers optimization programs is that once a company learns how to optimize energy, they usually want to do more. A sustainability strategy can start with one department and spread from an office to a building, to grow to include all your facilities in a state, a region, or a country.
Get a good coach. With ten years of experience, we have figured out how to make sustainability practical, affordable and effective. We will help you establish your long term sustainability goals and develop tactics and sustainability benchmarks for process validation. Some companies have totally embraced the principles of LEED or abide by the simplicity of
12 Principles of Green Engineering. We will help you choose the approach that best matches your company's culture so you get it right the first time. We can pull together a "best-practices" team to ensure professional results. Additionally, we will help you create a plan that integrates how you purchase and use energy into a comprehensive strategy for energy mastery.
