February 2025 Membership Meeting

Calling all commercial property owners, business tenants, and facility managers - join us to discover the business perks of energy efficiency, get insider expertise on no-cost and low-cost upgrades, and learn how to tackle larger projects with grant funding.

Making a few simple changes can lead to significant energy savings for businesses! According to the U.S. Department of Energy, implementing energy efficiency measures in commercial buildings can cut energy consumption by 10% to 30%. Energy saving changes can be as simple as programming the thermostat, performing regular equipment maintenance, or upgrading to high-efficiency models when it's time for replacements.

In Minnesota, businesses have a fantastic free resource: the Energy Smart service offered by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. This free service provides energy efficiency consultations and practical action plans customized to each business, focusing on low and no-cost energy-saving opportunities and available grant funding.
