Building on his previous work with ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability), Groundwire Consulting CRM Developer Evan Callahan developed the Salesforce tool that will be used by businesses and organizations to monitor their resource use.
Property owners and tenants go online to fill out baseline surveys that describe their sustainability profile and energy use. After participating in group activities and training provided by energy-use experts, they return to their web browser to update the numbers and track their progress. Most importantly, the software is designed so that new cities can join the program easily, customizing the surveys and online resources to meet the unique sustainability goals of their community.
