Municipal Energy Saving Opportunities
The Hartford Courant just reported on an upcoming meeting of “Municipalities to Discuss Energy-Saving Strategies“. In e-Town, there are many opportunities to reduce energy usage by municipalities and residents. By offering residents and local businesses Web based access to municipal services, town hall can reduce the hours of operation and save energy and maintenance as a result. Residents and businesses don’t need to travel to town hall saving gasoline and time. Through Web based service requests, the municipality can better plan dispatch routes and inspections, saving gas and time. The Web also enables multiple municipalities to share services and resources, opening additional energy saving alternatives. As a bonus, the Web eliminates the need for paper and all the associated production energy. Every municipality should explore the opportunities for energy savings through Web based services.
