According to the 2014 Sustainability Report from VenueDataSource, one major obstacle toward moving forward with venue specific sustainability projects is the ability to convince senior leadership of its value. One goal of the IAVM Sustainability Committee is to assist IAVM members in exploring sustainability program opportunities with proven results. One such opportunity is to capitalize on public and private rebate and informational programs. Toward that goal, the committee will issue information related to partnership opportunities utilizing the newly formed Partnerships & Incentives Sub-Committee.
In the interim, one good place to start exploring public resources is the U.S. Department of Energy website: http://energy.gov. This site provides information on energy initiatives and programs, and you can also find a link to state specific programs on the site.
