\u201cMost of the time what we find is utility spend, even though can be quite substantial in an organization, seems to be looked at as unaddressable. By that I mean they look at energy as an annual spend that is going to be at a ‘run-rate’ year over year and then budget for that rate for following year. The problem or opportunity with that approach is that it starts off with an assumption<\/em> without any tie to a business metric. This is where we find opportunity to look at the energy spend and the data analytics to make it more addressable for our clients\u201d.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
