New York Energy $martSM Offices Project
Step One: Build Support for Your ProJECT
The first step is to obtain buy-in from the key decision-makers. NYSERDA's outreach and education materials can help you build support from various target audiences by emphasizing possible benefits of interest to each group or key decision-maker. Fact sheets are available for policy makers, IT staff, procurement staff, finance staff and equipment vendors. There is also a Smart Office Calculator, PowerPoint Presentation, and various case studies to assist you in building support for your New York Energy $martSM Offices project.
Review Outreach and Information Materials
Before undertaking a project, familiarize yourself with the materials and analytical tools available. The case studies include estimates of energy savings potential based on equipment data and other information collected at several sites that have implemented a project. The case studies include contact information for staff at government offices and educational institutions who can answer your questions about their experience with the New York Energy $martSM Offices Project. More case studies will be added as other sites adopt plug-load efficiency measures in their facilities.
Obtain Buy-In from Key Decision-Makers
Materials are specifically targeted to those audiences that are responsible for establishing, interpreting, and implementing policies related to energy-efficient office equipment procurement and operation. These key decision-makers include government and educational institution (universities, colleges, municipal schools districts) officials and policymakers, budget and finance officers, facilities managers, energy managers, procurement staff, marketing and outreach staff, and information technology (IT) staff and their equipment vendors. The materials are designed to emphasize important issues that are most relevant to each of these audiences and to show how the program can help them to address those issues.
