Takeaways
- Energy efficiency is a crucial first step towards achieving net zero emissions.
- Facilities managers should focus on reducing energy consumption and engaging staff in energy-saving practices.
- There are three scopes of emissions: scope one (on-site emissions), scope two (emissions from procured energy), and scope three (emissions from third-party tenants and transportation).
- Microgrids provide resiliency and reliability by allowing facilities to generate and distribute their own energy.
- Facilities managers can position themselves as strategic partners by implementing energy efficiency measures, procuring renewable energy, and creating a culture of sustainability.
- Sustainability efforts can also have a positive impact on recruiting top talent.
