The document summarizes the results of two sustainability surveys conducted in 2017. It finds that 90% of organizations remain committed to or are increasing sustainability commitments. 50% have formal climate or sustainability targets, with business performance and ROI influencing 75% of energy projects. The top metrics for tracking program success are energy consumption, cost, and emissions. Building upgrades, measurement/tracking, and scheduling improvements were prioritized. Over the past year, successes came from upgrades, measurement, scheduling, and engagement. The webinar agenda included reviewing these survey findings and initiatives, as well as a panel on formal/informal commitments and top energy reduction tactics.
