What are Green Business Forums?

The Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce,  Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection and  Montgomery College have partnered to create a Green Business Forum (GBF). Taking place from 7:30am – 9:00am, four times a year in the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce boardroom, each forum will feature experts who offer unique perspectives on the advantages of being a green business. Panels will be moderated by Montgomery College faculty. Presentations will be followed by Q&A. Montgomery College will offer “how-to” webinars to supplement the forums. GBF is free and open to the public. Due to limited seating, registration is required.

Topic: Better Business through Energy Efficiency

Montgomery County businesses spend over $8 billion annually on energy costs and even a modest 20% energy cost savings could result in over $1.5 billion in savings that could be reinvested in other business needs. To access these savings, businesses are taking advantage of the Pepco Commercial and Industrial Energy Savings Program, created by the EmPower Maryland Act.
 

To help find a ways to capture your business's share of these savings and incentives, the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce Green Business Forum will host representatives from the Pepco Commercial and Industrial Energy Savings Program, and businesses who have taken advantage of the program, to explain how to unlock these cash incentives and energy savings. These panelists will explain what incentives are available from the program and how businesses have used them to strengthen their operations.

Eric R. Coffman, CEM, CDSM, LEED-AP, Senior Energy Planner, Montgomery County, Department of Environmental Protection
