On February 10, more than 100 trade allies and representatives from complementary services and industries attended the Existing Buildings Winter Trade Ally Event in Portland. This dynamic event offered valuable opportunities for networking, updates and discussions.

Trade allies who attended the Portland session took part in breakout sessions about using Energy Trust incentives as a sales tool, orientations for new trade allies, a panel discussion with industry leaders and how required cost-effectiveness calculations determine the availability of incentives. The event concluded with Existing Buildings updates and a keynote presentation from Peter West, Energy Trust director of energy programs, about results in 2014 and plans for the upcoming year.

Existing Buildings is looking forward to a productive 2015 and working with you to help your customers save energy and get cash incentives, and help you grow your business. To stay up-to-date on Existing Buildings incentives, visit the Existing Buildings and the trade ally web pages.
