Despite rapid advances in technology, we still use 16 percent more energy than we did 25 years ago. We've made improvements in efficiency yet have invented more ways to burn energy. Here's a look at how to drive the change.

TAC recently embarked on six-month initiative to train 5,000 employees about energy demand across the globe and the challenges that go along with meeting it. Employees also got the chance to calculate their own carbon footprint, which had an impact on the amount of energy they use at home and at the office.

Because the Clinton Climate Initiative is taking a very practical approach to addressing climate change through building energy efficiency, it presents an opportunity for companies to learn vital lessons about implementing energy efficiency programs in their own facilities.

With companies rapidly seeking out every possible way to improve their environmental performance, many are finding that tracking down inefficiencies in building energy use is a quick and easy way to make a noticeable difference.
