This session will aid you in assessing your building portfolio for EMIS. It begins with an introduction to EMIS and its benefits. We then discuss the key criteria to consider when determining which of your buildings may be candidates for EMIS, including some tools and methods for making this determination. Examples are also provided along the way.
