An increasing number of clients are choosing sustainability consultants through a competitive bidding process—sending out Requests for Information (RFIs) or Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Even if you are working directly with a prospective client, you’ll need to be able to produce a statement of work (SOW) that sets out clear expectations for how the engagement is expected to proceed. Now is the time to ensure that you’re crafting proposal language that will get you on the shortlist. Welcome to Sustainability Consulting 401!

• The different ways you may be asked to provide information on your services
• What should be included in a standard boilerplate proposal
• Specific proposal provisions that you should have ready “just in case”
• Suggestions for how to approach pricing (hourly vs. fixed vs. incentive-based)

An energy audit is the first step to assess how much energy your company consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your company's operations, factories and/or offices more energy efficient. An audit will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time. During the audit, you can pinpoint where your business is losing energy. Audits also determine the efficiency of your office's heating and cooling systems. An audit may also show you ways to conserve hot water and electricity. Your company can perform a simple energy audit, or have SSC's energy auditors to carry out a more thorough audit.

In this 60-minute presentation, you'll learn:

• Analyzing your company's energy bills
• Evaluating your company's lighting systems to gauge level of efficiency
