Kudos to All!
Convention Center Staff were recognized last month at the City of Virginia Beach Energy Awards – taking 2nd place for their efforts to reduce overall energy consumption and a successful electricity load shedding test. In fact CPower energy management paid VBCC $14,714 for their energy efficiency efforts this year. (We are set to earn even more next year!)
Keith Bernstein also received an Honorable Mention award for his efforts to monitor events in the building – always aware of spaces in use, activity, attendee level, and keeping up with open doors, lighting, and air conditioning. He is also a recycling champion, doing “anything he can do to help save energy and save costs for our building.”
Thank you all for your ongoing efforts!
BTW – the 1st place Energy Champion winner was Kyle Coolbaugh from the Department of Public Works. He won for his work auditing streetlight billing using GIS. Anticipated savings from his work is expected to exceed $30,000.
