Utility Tracking and Benchmarking Blog | WegoBlog

A near constant challenge for every property manager with whom we work, is trying to get their tenants interested in saving energy. One would think the obvious monetary benefits would be enough but what about those tenants who don't pay utility bills?

There might be hope for those of us who love to travel, since flights are about to become more green with recycled biofuels.
