ABSTRACT

The cultures sought are an energy awareness culture, a water awareness culture, a recycling culture to save the planet, an equipment failure prevention culture, and an environmental stewardship culture. Characteristics, knowledge, language, and group of people apply to the energy centered culture we desire to have in place to our business, college, or organization. All of the characteristics can help achieve the desired culture, but they are not of equal importance. Roles, responsibilities, management, and training, are essential to achieving the desired culture. Communications are the lifeblood that keeps the culture fluid, current on issues and tasks needed, plus knowing where current performance is and how it compares to the goals and vision. The goal is to transition the workplace into everyone unconsciously showing positive behaviors regarding their energy and water use, environmental stewardship, observing and reporting leaks, noise, and other items that stop energy waste. The main what in each of the cultured areas will be covered now.
