“An informed member of our society is a good candidate to be a motivated member of our society.”
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability is a global concept that depends as much on personal commitment and individual participation as it does on corporate or institutional resolution. Commonwealth Consulting Services recognizes that many people are not really familiar with the impact that each person will have on energy efficiency and sustainability goals. Even a great plan that lacks informed and motivated participants will fail.
It is also important for members of an organization to see how a current position, or Baseline, is measured; and to see how positive and negative impacts to that Baseline will be measured and reported.
It is a critical first step to share current information and confirm a common understanding of the baseline, tools and techniques, and importance of the job ahead before initiating an Energy Efficiency & Sustainibility Program.
Goals
“When your opinion is asked, when your thoughts are heard and your ideas considered – you take ownership of the drive to deliver outcome.”
Those individuals who will commit to and execute an Energy & Sustainability Plan should be involved in setting the goals and the timeline for measurement and achievement. This creates personal buy-in and accountability.
Commonwealth Consulting Services will collaborate with organizational leadership, stakeholders and employees and spearhead interactive workshops and discussions to identify short, medium and long-term goals and priorities.
Commonwealth Consulting Services will also help define measureable outcomes that our customers can use to evaluate the impact of our collaborative efforts.
Training
“Most people who discover that there are better options will make better choices.”
After an awareness program has been completed, and goals and outcomes have been established Commonwealth Consulting Services will customize those specific education and training sessions as needed —confident that attendees will come into the program with a shared base of fundamental concepts about energy and sustainability, and with shared goals in mind.
Commonwealth Consulting Services designs training programs aimed at ensuring all levels of our customer organizations is fully prepared and properly motivated to implement energy and sustainability plans. Commonwealth Consulting Services facilitates customized training programs through classroom and individualized training, internet webinars, online courses, and the production of training manuals and other instructional materials.
Accountability
“Don’t point to a study collecting dust on a shelf, and claim accomplishment. Instead point to measurable outcomes recommended in that plan”
Commonwealth Consulting Services holds that we and our customers have not accomplished anything meaningful unless we have reduced energy waste, and can point to a measurement that substantiates that reduction. So we keep that end target in mind, and make measurement and verification a key tool, and work to insert timelines for accomplishment into our Efficiency and Sustainability Plans.
