DON WALL - Christine Gustafson of Harbourgreene Consulting advised MCAC delegates on strategies to succeed in the retrofit market at MCAC’s recent California conference.
“Those commitments represent an enormous challenge and opportunity to target those critical barriers to get the emissions reductions,” said the British Columbia-based consultant. “Building performance needs to be part of that.” “You’re the cornerstone, you are the people in the buildings, the eyes and the ears, the boots on the ground,” said Gustafson. “For capital projects, work closely with building owners and managers to support them with your new knowledge and skills on clean energy retrofits, and help them understand the mechanical systems in their buildings.”
“The mechanical contractors are the products and service suppliers,” Gustafson said. “Really nothing is going to happen without you guys.”
