I would add that we should just keep it simple. It has to be simple. I would suggest that we use an education model whereby the government puts together a program to go around to every department, to every complex, to provide a level of education as to what can be done. Then you say, “Here guys, get it done yourselves. Hire a professional consultant”. As professional engineers we are all obligated to perform in a professional way to provide some guidelines and then to sign off on and certify what the department has done.
They can dream up all kinds of great things to do, and they know where their problems are. They do not need a lot of analysis. They know that their chiller is broken. They know that they're having to spend a lot of money replacing ballast on their lighting luminaires.
Then if you coach them it's very much like our kids going to school. The kids at school get taught to be energy efficient. They come home and they teach their parents to turn the lights off. So when the parents go to work they don't leave the lights on in their office. It's pretty straightforward.
