PPG’s flagship energy performance program, the Energy Leaders Consortium (ELC), brings together a dynamic network of energy professionals on a regular basis to share best practices and support collective action on energy projects.
A Network of Energy Professionals
Participants of the ELC include professionals in the following roles from a variety of industries and sectors:
- Facilities Management
- Environmental, Health, and Safety
- Manufacturing/Operating Engineers
- Sustainability and Climate Change
- Executive Leadership
- Energy Management and Efficiencies
Why Energy Efficiency Matters
The cost of energy is rising, here in the GTA and around the world. Managing energy efficiently is important for all businesses regardless of sector, size, or location. It can help reduce expenses, improve workplace comfort, and result in significant reductions in GHG emissions and air pollution. However, the complexity of energy efficiencies can be daunting for many companies to tackle alone, even with in-house energy management expertise.
Collectively, the ELC can make a difference!
What to Expect
When you join the ELC, you become a part of the network of like-minded energy professionals who are driving energy performance in their organizations and demonstrating leadership across the GTA. Through sharing knowledge and experiences, ELC members help drive down costs and GHG emissions by:
- Learning from each other’s energy projects and success stories
- Sharing resources and expertise on best practices, innovative technologies, and funding opportunities
- Strategizing solutions to common challenges through collective projects and roundtable discussions
- Identifying opportunities for continuous efficiencies
Consortium Format
Members meet throughout the year and rotate through these three session styles:
