Last week we released Sustainable Industries’ new microsite, the 2012 Sustainable Energy Guide.

The guide contains an overview of everything an Operations or Facilities Manager needs to get started on the road to sustainability. We get a lot of questions about transitioning to renewable energy and purchasing carbon offsets and you'll find updated information about those issues here. But the guide is also ideal for anyone who is just getting started on the road to a sustainable work environment. It'll give you a jump-start on establishing a baseline so you know how much energy your office uses, as well as tips and tricks for maximizing energy efficiency.

The Sustainable Energy Guide was launched last Thursday at our webinar on Scaling Solar and Financing the 99%. The webinar included three experts on financing for renewable energy projects: Adam Boucher of Adam Capital, which specializes in bridging the financing gaps for distributed scale solar developers; Greg Saunders, a 25-year financial veteran with extensive experience raising debt and equity capital, most recently as CFO at Tioga Energy; and Matt Scullin, Vice President at New Resource Bank, who focuses on providing construction and project financing for a variety of renewable energy projects, including solar, biogas, biomass and energy efficiency. Each panelist represents a different aspect of the financing picture and they collaborated to deliver a presentation that described the whole picture.

If you missed the webinar, you can access it here.
