As part of a continuing series of workshops designed to advance implementation of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Action Plan, this workshop was designed specifically for facility managers of local government public buildings, including parks and recreation managers who are responsible for their buildings’ operations.

The workshop included a tour of the Broward College Health Sciences Simulations Building. Interactive sessions covered quick and inexpensive ways to save energy and money, benchmarking and reporting, energy efficient technologies, energy service companies, and financing retrofits and upgrades. Invited speakers included energy professionals and managers from the U.S. Department of Energy, municipalities from Southeast Florida with successful energy efficiency initiatives, and experts from the state university system.
