Routinely audit and walk buildings to understand how resources are measured and consumed. Coordinate with building operations, maintenance operations, engineering, and utilities staff to identify and resolve resource conservation issues and implement building schedules and other conservation measures. Perform basic calculations to determine resource consumption, savings, and life cycle cost analysis of conservation measures. Develop building occupant manuals that will educate occupants about their buildings and enable them to conserve resources. Organize and hold building events, such as building open house or orientation, to engage building occupants and promote the Energy and Resource Conservation program.
