1-Hour Green Building Occupant Education Session
Calibrate your occupants into advanced building controls with a fun and interactive learning session and save up to 15% on utility costs.
Overview
This is a “No Cost” energy efficiency solution for building owners that focuses on a fun and interactive learning session devoted to behavioral patterns that have significant impacts on resource consumption. We provide this service because occupant education is one of the most overlooked energy savers that can have the largest impact for the lowest cost.
Some buildings may realize energy savings of up to 15% or more, simply by bringing awareness and stewardship into the minds of building occupants.
Details
Several studies regarding energy use in commercial buildings suggest that no matter how efficient the building or system, if not used properly, performance will undoubtedly suffer. Every second the building is open for operation, occupants are the largest consumer of costly ongoing resources, day in and day out. Gas, electricity, water, office supplies, office equipment, and waste must be paid for every day a building is in operation. Luckily, we can help properly calibrate your occupants to reach the most efficient operation possible.
A 1-Hour Green Building Occupant Education Session is a fun and interactive way to engage employees on the basics of efficient building operations and basic green building principles, fine tuning the consumption patterns of the major resources of your facility. The intent is to transform your occupants into self-organized building controls, in a personalized platform. Because every building has unique occupancy patterns, we present our information based on the building itself to the extent possible.
Some of the areas that we focus on are:
- How electricity/natural gas are generated and what that means to our city, personal, and professional lives
- Why we should care about resource consumption
- Daily decisions to limit wasted resource consumption
- Basic green building principles
- What passive solar is and how it can be leveraged to our benefit
- How proper use of the blinds impacts solar heat gain and air infiltration/exfiltration
- Much more…
But I Already Have A LEED Builing?
Whether you are in a sleek new LEED Platinum building, or an ugly old 1970′s office, occupants are the largest drivers of building systems. Even in a highly advanced, sustainably designed building, users control many of the major systems such as lighting, heating, cooling, plug loads, blinds, paper waste, equipment settings and more. Without knowledge, or a reason to care about consumption, most occupants are focused on daily work activities with no regard for daily building performance. However, in less than 5 minutes a day, with one upfront educational session, simply by understanding how certain daily operations affect the big picture and personal lives, your occupants can transform into advanced building controls with minimal effort.
