If you spend more than about $1 million a year on energy, your potential savings are big enough to make this worth your time.

If you operate more than about 20 stores, your energy-management challenges are complex enough that you’ll welcome these ideas, specifically aimed at multisite retailers.

An Integrated Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan Overview

While the Executive Order 13514 establishes deadlines for each agency to report back to the executive, it does not establish firm guidelines for carbon emission reductions.

In order to create a clean energy economy that will increase our nation's prosperity, promote energy security, protect the interests of taxpayers and safeguard the health of our environment, the federal government must lead by example.

Each agency must compose its own estimates based on anticipated achievement and an overall assessment will then be collated by the Council chairman before being returned to President Obama.

It is the policy of the United States that all federal agencies will:

  • increase energy efficiency;
  • measure, report and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in direct and indirect activities;
  • conserve and protect water resources through efficiency, reuse and storm water management;
  • eliminate waste, recycle and prevent pollution;
  • leverage agency positions to foster markets for sustainable technologies and environmentally preferable materials, products and services;
  • design, construct, maintain and operate high-performance sustainable buildings in sustainable locations;
  • strengthen the vitality and livability of the communities in which federal facilities are located; and
  • inform federal employees about and involve them in the achievement of these goals.

Due to the complexity associated with the introduction of a sustainability platform and the need for analysis through a complicated array of assets and procedures, government agencies would do well to call on the experience and resources of dedicated organizations such as Verisae.

Verisae's Sustainability Resource Planning (SRP) platform allows a distributed enterprise to minimize the carbon emissions exposure, improve energy efficiency, and work to increase asset level optimization.
