The program is a unique public-private collaboration, that created a global model for economic development, sustainability and quality of life. It has connected all the office buildings in Charlotte’s center city to the electrical grid in order to measure energy as a single community with a single number and then drove that usage down with awareness and voluntary behavior change. The meaningful results significantly lowered energy usage, which translated in over $10MM in lower operating costs in the urban core, significant emissions reductions and an enhanced brand for recruiting and retaining businesses and talent.
