PANEL

To Manage It, You Need To Measure It

Companies are developing and using software to monitor everything from corporate carbon emissions to in-building energy consumption to rooftop solar panel output. With more carbon regulation around the corner, every company will need a corporate energy and carbon strategy that relies on software to streamline the process. Consumers will be using similar tools, too. This panel asks: What are options out there? What still needs to be done? How will the data be analyzed to make actionable meaning?
