This one-hour webinar will focus on what energy efficiency changes/strategies would be most relevant to the performing arts sector. This webinar would be relevant to any arts facility interested in learning more about how their building operates in terms of energy consumption and what they can do to save on yearly energy costs. We will also discuss the incentives and programs that might be available to non-profit facilities for energy related projects. There will be time for questions and discussion.
