Businesses looking to reduce energy costs and building operating expenses have a one-stop information resource at All Things Green 2014: Energy Savings for Business. The event, organized by the Macomb County Chamber, is scheduled on Tuesday, May 20, at the IBEW-NECA Electrical Industry Training Center at 2277 East 11 Mile Road in Warren.
This year’s event, which is geared to small and mid-sized businesses, puts a special emphasis on how to get the financing to turn energy saving projects into realities and includes green products and technology displays from 25 industry-leading companies.
Attendees will:
• Learn about Michigan’s commitment to energy efficiency
• Discover new products and technology that reduce energy costs and use, including some made-in-Michigan companies
• Explore available financing, incentives and rebates, including Macomb County’s newly approved PACE program
• Gain practical advice from businesses who have successfully implemented energy conservation and sustainability programs
Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel will deliver opening remarks and Tom Bowes, assistant director of the Electrical Industry Training Center, will moderate the event.
“No matter what your job title is, everyone is concerned with saving energy and saving money,” said Grace Shore, CEO of the Macomb County Chamber. “We’ve assembled expert panels to deliver the most up-to-date information and advice on a range of helpful subjects.”
Registration and exhibits open at 8 a.m. The program starts at 8:30 a.m. and wraps up at 12:15 p.m. A breakout session, “Careers in Energy”, geared specifically to students and educators, immediately follows the general sessions.
