Village of Holden Corporate Benchmarking Report (CBR)

The Village of Holden Corporate Benchmarking Report initiative focuses on implementing sustainable energy practices and reducing carbon emissions in the community of Holden, located in Alberta, Canada. Collaborating with eMission Software Inc., this project aims to employ innovative technologies and methodologies to assess and enhance energy efficiency.

By conducting a thorough data analysis and offering tailored recommendations, the project endeavors to empower the Village of Holden community to embrace energy-efficient practices across its corporate buildings and infrastructure. Establishing a benchmark for energy consumption and emissions will pinpoint areas for enhancement and facilitate the development of customized solutions to achieve tangible outcomes.

“eMission made the Holden Community Buildings Emissions Report easy for the municipality. Their guidance throughout the project and after has been valuable. I look forward to our continued partnership as we move forward seeking grant funding to help the municipality address the concerns noted from the report.”
