Project Objective

This lead-by-example pilot will start with city-owned buildings before expanding lessons to additional privately owned buildings to upgrade approximately 15 existing facilities into GEBs.

Project Impact 

  • Lead-by-example approach with a mix of both publicly owned and privately owned commercial buildings.
  • Strong M&V plan that includes thoughtful approaches to occupant and financial as well as energy impacts. 
  • Combines readily available and proven technologies for a high degree of scalability and replicability.
