Shorenstein Starts Energy Conservation Education

SAN FRANCISCO-Shorenstein Realty Services has rolled out the first phase of a targeted energy conservation education program, aimed at its thousands of tenants across the country, by conducting an energy awareness roadshow at several of its buildings. Titled “Flip the Switch,” the roadshow event, which is expected to wrap up its nationwide tour next month, focuses primarily on energy conservation but also introduces tenants to the environmental importance of sustainability as well as its long-term financial benefits. 

According to Lisa Mize, a senior vice president with Shorenstein and the chairman of the committee responsible for the program, the roadshow event has been enthusiastically embraced by tenants, many of whom already follow energy conservation practices at work and at home. “We have found our tenant audiences to be very receptive …  Most of the strategies included in the tour are behavioral modifications that have the potential to contribute substantially to a reduction in energy efficiency.”
