Alliance Partners with Building Operating Management Magazine in Special Report

The Alliance is pleased to be partnering with Building Operating Management magazine on a Special Report in the April of 2009 edition. Produced by the editors of Building Operating Management and and based on interviews with buildings experts at the Alliance, this Special Report will be read by 73,000 building owners and facility executives who are responsible for more than four million of the nation's commercial and institutional properties.

The editorial content for this Special Report focuses on selling energy efficiency to management. The premise here is that most organizations can make significant reductions in the energy used by their buildings. What's more, energy efficiency efforts can bring multiple rewards to organizations – rewards that range from bottom-line savings to increased comfort to improved company image. But winning support for energy initiatives often requires facility executives to overcome hurdles that range from mere indifference to outright skepticism among top managers. This article will highlight important steps that facility executives should take to sell energy efficiency to management. Topics include:

• Understanding energy efficiency opportunities
• Developing a plan
• Gaining support for energy efficiency
