Every Friday morning, we have an all-team meeting that includes 15 mins of learning. "Learning" is a broad term that applies to personal topics of interest, local nonprofits telling us about their work, new sustainability start-ups, and Ted Talks we thought people might enjoy.

It’s not surprising that one of the most significant issues facing our world is energy security. As the turbulent global political climate continues to affect energy assurances, finding ways to guarantee consistent energy at an affordable price and in an environmentally conscious manner is at the forefront of many change-makers.

Did you know you have options when it comes to energy rates and utilities for each of your facilities?

While I'm not an expert in lighting controls, I interact with them frequently as a part of our commissioning work. Throughout my many years of designing and troubleshooting buildings' functionality, I have repeatedly inquired about the commissioning of lighting controls. Way back, the “only” lighting system was daylighting; candles didn't work all that well for many activities. The only “controls” were drapes and shades.

Did you ever get yelled at by your parents to "Turn the lights OFF!" when you were a kid? I did. As an energy engineer as an adult, I wish I could have shown my kid-self the calculations on how much it really costs to leave the lights on.
