Procure outcomes, not widgets: Using procurement to achieve zero energy and save money. Procurement that focuses on results and outcomes, rather than commodities, leads to better results. Our presenters will discuss the merits and pitfalls of procurement and contracting mechanisms that can help campuses achieve deep energy savings while minimizing risk and reducing long-term costs. Rocky Mountain Institute, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and Ecosystem discussed the process as well as case studies.
