Energy Efficiency
Increasing energy costs have created a wake-up call for business leaders to devise ways to conserve energy. Over the past five years, an average company's energy costs have risen from 15-30 percent. Many are surprised to learn that the primary factor in reducing energy costs lies not with technological investment but with management's behavioral guidance. A commitment to reduce costs through proper energy management and an effective implementation and behavioral program should be the first priority over substantial investment in green technology. The AGPOM Sustainability Plan represents the first step in making the behavioral shift. Other energy efficiency guidance and suggestions are listed below:
