ABSTRACT
Many consultants and authors of energy and environmental books and articles outline the need for employees’ or students’ engagement in energy consumption reduction, water consumption reduction, equipment failure prevention, solid waste reduction, and environmental stewardship. 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. With sustainability being implemented in the main businesses, universities, and colleges today, there is a need for all of these cultures to be evident on site and practiced. 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.
