We are extremely thankful that our companion National Grid partnered with us as a Champion-level sponsor. Take a look at their awesome video about all the funding they offer to design teams to incorporate energy savings in the early stages of their projects. One of the main themes of the forum, delivering clean building and clean energy to our world long into the future, is a central tenant of National Grid's philosophy– so they were the perfect organization to partner with for this great event!
