Just because we came up with it doesn’t mean we can’t get in on the fun!

We started our energy audit on September 8. First, I checked out the Action Plan for some insider tips on how to win the competition. Then I ran around the office informing everybody that we were starting the competition- and that the Northern California headquarter team was definitely going to win.
