After saving ten percent on energy in thirteen buildings at Microsoft headquarters, WCTA Gold Member Microsoft and Accenture are working to bring similar reductions to 2 million square feet of commercial property in Seattle. A U.S. Department of Energy grant will help fund the project.
The partnership teams Microsoft with Seattle, local utility Seattle City Light and Seattle 2030 District, a public-private organization representing downtown property owners and managers striving for a 50 percent reduction in energy consumption across their buildings by 2030.
