August 16, 2011 > Energy workshop for commercial buildings Energy workshop for commercial buildings Submitted By Hayward Chamber of Commerce Beginning as early as January 2012, California law requires the disclosure of a benchmarking score prior to the lease, refinance or sale of a commercial building. Benchmarking helps the owners of commercial property manage their buildings' energy use to reduce operating costs. A free workshop, sponsored by the City of Hayward and Hayward Chamber of Commerce, on August 30 will teach commercial property owners and their teams how to comply with the new state regulations, how to develop the new Portfolio Manager profile, update and continually benchmark and track their Energy Star score and earn recognition with the Energy Star label and LEED certification. The Hayward Chamber of Commerce and City look forward to welcoming Hayward commercial building owners at this important workshop. Take advantage of technical support and financial incentives. Please RSVP to Marc S. McDonald, Sustainability Coordinator, City of Hayward at Marc.mcdonald@hayward-ca.gov or (510) 583-4231.
