Happy to speak on the subject of actionable steps to achieving net zero energy goals, representing @BurlingtonElec and our all-star Energy Services team. The #NZE buildings pyramid can help you visualize the energy-consuming systems in your building and how you can decarbonize.
Thanks to all of our members & friends who attended our end of year @BTV2030 Member Breakfast this morning @CityMarket! We're grateful for your commitment as we work towards our District-wide goals of reducing building energy consumption, water usage + transportation emissions.
