October is Energy Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to recognize what we mean when we talk about a true public/private partnership with Hillsborough County Public Schools. Because our technology makes previously invisible energy, visible — we get to a place of transparency in the partnership from the jump. Our great partners at British Energy Saving Technology created Eniscope and what it reveals in many ways is common ground. All of this data creates a baseline understanding of realistic usage and in turn, creates a foundation for a great partnership.
Making the invisible data visible empowered us to create a bespoke energy efficiency education program focused on the importance of lighting, HVAC, solar and technology. The core of efficiency starts with behavior. If we teach, we can change and if we change, our efforts will sustain.
