Webinar Sponsor: Better Buildings
The Energy Department will present a live webinar titled "Dealerships to Donuts: Best Practices for Energy Efficiency in the Franchise Model" on Tuesday, March 3, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Finding energy savings opportunities for a business franchise can be easy, but getting them implemented can be hard. While franchisors typically supply business knowledge, architectural designs, and equipment, franchise agreements and business models are not often designed to make it simple for franchisees to capitalize on energy efficiency opportunities.
Learn about the programs and tools being employed by Better Buildings partners Dunkin' Brands and InterContinental Hotels Group to bridge this gap and motivate franchisees to save energy and reduce their environmental impact.
