Sustainable Facility - February 2009 - (Page 4) Publisher’s Note How Do You Read Sustainable Facility? Just as you are challenged to operate your facilities at the most efficient level, we in the publishing world are faced with similar challenges that sometimes force us to make difficult choices. Rest assured that sustainability is always at the heart of these decisions — case in point, all of our issues are printed on paper containing recycled content. We put this as a top priority while meeting our original objective: Produce an educational product (in print, as well as online) to serve as a guide toward optimal energy and resource management. How can we encourage you to support the green side if we don’t “walk the walk” ourselves, right? Sustainable Facility proudly offers you multiple ways to access the high-quality information you’ve grown accustomed to. In addition to print, we have a comprehensive website, popular and timely eNewsletters, and webinars. But what holds the most value? Which do you, as a reader, prefer? This is a debate — often passionate — that I have had too many times to count. As the technology evolves to provide a better product, so does the debate… That being said, we look to online avenues to host this wealth of content, ensuring you the timeliest information to facilitate reaching your sustainable facility management goals. I encourage you to visit our website at www.SustainableFacility.com, sign up for the eNewsletters and attend our webinars. These tools and this magazine are full of resources and information to help you transform your buildings into higher-performing, sustainable facilities. During this transitional time in media, I’d love to hear what medium you prefer and why. Your opinion will add to our evolving debate. E-mail your comments to obloye@bnpmedia.com.
