Cleveland City Schools Provides Free Energy Dashboard To Community

by Susan H. Shelton
Cleveland City Schools has announced the availability of a free online energy tracking tool named GreenQuest to enable residents to track and analyze the energy use for their home or place of business. Energy Education Specialist for the school system, Paul Ramsey, says GreenQuest will educate, raise awareness and promote energy conservation throughout the community.

At www.mygreenquest.com residents can track their energy use and cost; compare their building with its peers; evaluate energy-saving projects; track their carbon footprint; analyze energy use with AccuWeather data; and as an option, obtain an ENERGY STAR building rating (for commercial buildings). The service is completely free for community members and it's safe and secure - no confidential user information (account numbers, etc.) is entered into GreenQuest.

Mr. Ramsey is a strong proponent of energy tracking: "We use an energy management software program to track the utility bills for all district buildings and have found it to be invaluable. When you want to save energy and reduce your carbon emissions, the first step is to track your usage. With GreenQuest, we're giving every household and business in the district a powerful tool to do the same thing."

GreenQuest is powered by EnergyCAP software, the energy efficiency software leader for thirty years. Both GreenQuest and EnergyCAP are published by Good Steward Software, an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company based in State College, PA.
