Our green dealer experts will show you how to increase energy efficiency year over year while reducing your environmental footprint. At the same time, we’re focused on helping you maximize cost savings.

Map and Plan EV Charger Installation
We’ll help you plan and install EV chargers, with necessary energy management infrastructure to make sure your investment is future focused.
Monitor and analyze utility usage
Use our utility platform to track energy consumption. We’ll help you validate project cost savings, verify efficiency of building systems, and determine if equipment repair or replacement is necessary.
Identify and make low-cost improvements
As part of the program, we will provide a quick start to savings. Whether for existing facilities or new construction, we recommend low- or no-cost measures your staff can use for immediate results.
Plan and execute Energy-focused capital projects
We will assess your business for over 30 best practices—including capital-intensive projects. We can create proposals and help select vendors for projects related to high-performance lighting, HVAC and insulation, renewable energy, and more.

Making big impacts to your business

Participating dealers and distributors who follow the roadmap can see huge benefits to their bottom line. Our experts help you understand capital-intensive projects—what to do, how to do it, and can even help with vendor proposals, bid analysis, and recommendations.

Reduce energy used for
heating and cooling up to

25%

Heating and Cooling

Heating and cooling accounts for approximately 50% of total dealership energy use. By upgrading to high-performance windows, doors, insulation and HVAC systems rated for your environment, you may reduce your total energy required for heating and cooling by 25%.

Lighting

LED lights can consume 60-80% less electricity. When combined with automatic controls you can cut your lighting-related energy in half.

Water

Water consumption can be cut by 30-50%. Solutions include modern fixtures, smart irrigation systems and landscapes, alternative water sources, closed loop systems that recycle water with no wastewater discharge.

Renewable Energy

Offset energy use, and hedge against rate increases. Across the U.S., many dealers are implementing on-site renewable energy systems (Solar PV), or preparing “solar ready” roofs. Several of our dealers are electric grid neutral and produce more energy than they consume.

A commitment to improvement

The Environmental Leadership Program is structured as a yearly assessment to optimize existing and new facilities in the areas of energy performance, water efficiency, and site practices. After enrollment, we’ll help you connect your utility data in our system, and then use our scorecard to evaluate and document your energy-saving practices and implementations. Utility data for facilities under construction is connected once the building is put into service. In future years, we’ll continue to help you improve and reduce energy consumption.

Our Scorecard guides your assessment

On the Green Dealer Portal you’ll benchmark your facility’s operational practices and provide documentation.
