EPA’s “Top Cities” Use EnergyCAP

A recent article titled, From the Ground Up: Energy Resilience Begins With Our Buildings, published by Penn State News, stated that buildings “consume about 40% of the energy we use in the United States… and a full 70% of all electricity.” In the same article, James Freihaut, Professor of Architectural Engineering at Penn State, commented, “If we want to conserve energy and stop global warning, we’ve got to make the buildings a lot better.”

Helping organizations of all types and sizes make their buildings “a lot better” has always been EnergyCAP’s mission, and if the EPA’s Top Cities rankings are any indication, our customers are achieving success. The three highest ranking cities—Los Angeles, CA; Washington, DC; San Francisco, CA—are EnergyCAP users. All told, 11 of the Top 25 Cities rely on EnergyCAP for utility bill accounting and energy management ⁽¹⁾:
