Pittsburgh, PA
Guided training event known as Treasure Hunts that assist agencies in strategically meeting agencies energy and water operations and maintenance (O&M) efficiency goals through identification, quantification, and implementation of low-to-no-cost energy savings measures. This continuous improvement process utilizes onsite non-technical and technical staff to identify non-capital investment energy efficiency improvements within a facility. Treasure Hunts empower attendees to train other staff members and foster a culture of continuous improvement leading to a reduction of O&M costs and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
