GreenQuest Blog all about GreenQuest – your personal Web-based energy dashboard

In its Summer 2009 News for Business and Industry, ENERGY STAR promotes GreenQuest in its article, “American Hotel and Lodging Association Offers Software with ENERGY STAR Ratings:”

The American Hotel and Lodging Association (AH&LA) has announced it is sponsoring GreenQuest, a new tool from Good Steward Software that provides energy use information and ENERGY STAR ratings. AH&LA is sponsoring this software to promote energy efficiency and sustainability to its member hotels and lodging facilities that can now use the tool, free of charge, to easily submit their building data for a rating.

GreenQuest is the latest software tool to partner with EPA to promote energy tracking, benchmarking, and reporting of building energy efficiency and environmental performance. GreenQuest uses automated benchmarking, an EPA Web-based data exchange system, to send energy and building data to EPA in exchange for ENERGY STAR ratings. GreenQuest is unique because it is the first free Web-based software to offer sponsors such as AH&LA the ability to custom-brand the software and Web site to facilitate energy efficiency campaigns to their customers. To capitalize on the energy intelligence obtained from GreenQuest, AH&LA has also partnered with Burton Energy Group to supply its members with discounted building audits and retrofit services.
