By Luke Streit<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sustainability and energy efficiency has long been a priority for our industrial and manufacturing clients, so it made sense for us to join the Resource Innovation Institute (RII) \u2013 a non-profit organization that\u2019s driving the adoption and celebration of resource efficiency and sustainability in the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and cannabis sectors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As a member, IMEG will work with RII to provide our clients with data-driven opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and access to the newest technologies on the market. Through a partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Natural Resource Conservation Service and American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), RII is collaborating with leading CEA producers and supply chain partners to benchmark energy, emissions, water, and waste for cultivation facilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By collaborating across disciplines to advance energy efficiency, water circularity, and decarbonization in the CEA industry, RII\u2019s resources can help our clients increase resilience, profitability, and productivity in their facilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
