Making Local Changes for a Global Difference
In 2018, Hantzmon Wiebel participated in a Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) audit. The recommendations from the audit led the firm to make more than ten significant changes to help reverse climate change. Some of the changes include the removal of unused A/C window units, a change from bottled water to water filtration machines, and the installation of 82 solar panels. The energy conscious actions taken by the firm led to being recognized by the Community Climate Collaborative’s Better Business Challenge for “Solar Energy Special Recognition for Demonstrating Climate Leadership” in 2019.

Working Together for a Greater Impact
The Hantzmon Wiebel team recognizes that joining the Green Business Alliance allows us to become part of something larger than ourselves. Because of the combined efforts of alliance members to promote green efforts in our homes, schools, and neighborhoods, the team feels empowered to make a positive impact within the community its members cherish. Participation in the alliance provides a platform to share our knowledge of how to incorporate smart energy solutions and sustainable business practices in our daily lives.
Improving Efficiency
Hantzmon Wiebel continues to plan action steps toward a greener work environment. We will soon install an app that allows the thermostats to be controlled by computer or phone, which will make it easier to maintain a consistent temperature in the office. With this system, we plan to put Energy Star temperature guidelines in place for the heating and cooling seasons. Hantzmon Wiebel anticipates a continued partnership with C3 and GBA members and knows this will drive continual change and growth.
