Why Companies Strive To Satisfy Customers With EE

Energy Efficiency Markets Podcast interviews Brandi McManus, energy services manager for TAC, which provides energy, building automation and security solutions. She discusses how legislation, including the Kyoto Protocol, affects how businesses view energy efficiency in the US. Even though the US hasn't yet ratified the Kyoto Protocol, global emission standards are influencing all US businesses that hope to be competitive in the future market. Businesses now recognize that their customers are demanding sustainable practices. McManus describes California’s leading-edge energy efficiency legislation, as well as voluntary cap-and-trade programs in the US designed to reduce greenhouse gases.
