Usource to provide renewable energy for 2017 Northeast Buildings and Facilities Management Show & Conference at Boston Convention and Exhibit Center - June 14-15

Hampton, NH Usource, an energy advisory firm to large commercial, industrial and institutional organizations, will “green up” the 2017 Northeast Buildings and Facilities Management Show & Conference (NEBFM) held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center again this year. Usource, together with Carbon Solutions Group, will donate Green-e certified renewable energy credits (RECs) for the event. This joint donation will match 100% of the estimated electricity consumption at the event held June 14 - 15, to include set-up day on June 13. 

“This is our second year as the NEBFM green energy sponsor. We are happy to assist in reducing the event’s climate impact; highlighting the importance of environmental responsibility and renewable energy in the business sector,” said Scott MacDonald, managing director at Usource. “At Usource, we are increasingly working with organizations to incorporate renewable energy into their energy management strategies.”

This year’s NEBFM conference is expected to host over 250 exhibitors and thousands of attendees from across the region. The donated RECs will be permanently retired at the conclusion of the three-day event.

“Usource has been a long-standing participant and supporter of the NEBFM conference. We are excited to work with them to reduce our event’s environmental impact as our Green Energy Sponsor,” said Michael Campisi, managing director at ProExpos Group, the event organizer. “With this generous donation, our participants and attendees can feel good knowing that NEBFM17 will be carbon-neutral.”
