LG Input
Requested: Staff Engagement Information and Strategies
Request for information from local government agencies regarding staff
engagement practices as they pertain to energy efficiency,
sustainability, climate change, climate adaptation etc. efforts and
initiatives. We’d like to hear about how you garner support for your
projects/initiatives from decision makers, city council/board of
supervisors, your staff, and your community. We also want to hear about
what are some of the obstacles you face in moving projects forward from
conception to implementation. If your organization has rolled out an
engagement strategy that was successful in changing the culture in your
organization to be supportive of your initiatives we’d love to hear about
it. This information will help guide the development of a staff
engagement plan for a fellow local government
Please contact Rosie
Kang, Willdan Energy Solutions at rkang@willdan.com or (626)
633-6218 to provide your input.

Why Don’t
Green Buildings Live Up to Hype on Energy Efficiency?

savings measure that is more than the energy use of the house, because
they are just working with the model."
