Finding opportunity in challenging times

Download our guide

Colleges and universities across the U.S. have been struggling to manage increasing costs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. While the new federal relief bill awards $40 billion to higher education institutions, the estimated additional costs from the pandemic are around $180 billion. As a result, cutting overhead costs has never been more important. Taking a more efficient approach to managing campus energy is a very good place to start.

This guide explores how changing your approach to energy management can dramatically cut overhead costs, reduce maintenance needs, improve indoor environments, and achieve your sustainability goals.
