Our article, Educating and Engaging Occupants on Energy Efficiency, is published on ASHRAE’s website. The spotlight on energy efficiency continues to increase globally according to the 2011 Energy Efficiency Indicator, a survey that has studied the interest in energy efficiency over the past five years. Our white paper discusses this study that tracked almost 4,000 global executives and building owners throughout North America, who are responsible for energy management and investment decisions, and how similar organizations are utilizing our Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard solution to help facilitate educating building occupants and encouraging energy efficient occupant behavior. Visit ASHRAE to view the whitepaper.
Green Technology magazine’s article “Fast Forward to a Green Future” provides a recap of the Green School Summit that was held in Pasadena in October. The section, Two Days of Educational Seminars and Panels, provides great feedback on the Engaging Students in Energy Efficiency presentation that QA Graphics gave. View the article.
American School & University magazine’s article, “Cost-Effective Design for Green Schools” discusses how getting occupants involved is just as important as designing a sustainable building. Promoting this user awareness can be done through providing sustainable curriculum and providing real-time building performance data.
QA Graphics has helped a number of schools with this task, with the help of our Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard!
Check out a few new pictures from the Meet and Greet reception that QA Graphics held in October.
