The Energy Performance Initiative is a multi-phased program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cut institutional operating costs.  The program includes:

  • optimization of energy supply through technology and procurement
  • new building energy performance standards, a multi-year existing building energy conservation program
  • optimization of operating hours of HVAC systems
  • engagement of building occupants in activities and programs to drive down energy demand
