Missions in Germany Save Energy and Dollars

An agreement with Vattenfall has been initiated to include Berlin residential buildings on the commercial utility contract for non-residential buildings, which has a lower kWh-rate and allows for real time utility metering in residential units. A photovoltaic system has been installed on the roof of the residence on Goldfinkweg 14. Energy savings have been achieved through the Munich strategy of overnight computer shutdowns and extraneous water heaters have been turned off in four restrooms at COB in Düsseldorf.
