Description

The call for healthcare to decarbonize becomes louder every day. Residents increasingly demand to live in green buildings. One of the first, easiest, and most lucrative ways to reduce emissions is to reduce what are known as Scope 2 emissions (emissions that are associated with the electricity that you consume). This session will focus on ways to reduce these emissions, in ways that are relatively simple and can often result in reduced operating costs. During this session, you will have the opportunity to gain insights from experts who are at the forefront of developing intelligent energy solutions. HSW: Yes
