Questions & Answers
Robert "Bob" Smith, PhD, Professor Emeritus, California
State University pre-submitted a question to get
discussions started. He assists Green Energy efforts that
involve an Enterprise Energy Management Information
System prototype for five cities.
Bob asked if the Pasadena Community College Energy
Management systems can be demonstrated live.
He would like to see energy use analysis reports a
municipality, such as Huntington Beach, can use.
