Are you a member of the Burlington 2030 District? FREE energy benchmarking available for members!

This is a collaborative effort and we need the participation of all property owners in the City of Burlington! With over 7.5 million square feet committed to the Burlington 2030 District goals, we’re delighted to be able to offer limited complimentary energy benchmarking and Property Energy Plans (PEPs) to new Burlington 2030 District property owner members. These customized PEPs include an energy benchmark (like a miles per gallon rating, but for building efficiency performance achieved) for a specific property, a summary of findings, and a roadmap addressing opportunities for property owners/managers to meet building energy reduction performance goals. To learn more about joining, please click here or email us.
