Vos and Sherman of Bright Power Inc. discuss NYC environmental initiatives at luncheon

By Stewart Feitel, IFMAA standing room only crowd packed the conference room at FX Fowle to listen to Phil Vos and Gregory Sherman of Bright Power Inc. discuss New York City environmental initiatives. Before their informative speech began, the programs committee (chaired by Abbie Golding and Gail Frank) highlighted two facility management professionals as part of their "spotlight" on facility managers. Greg Revis from CT Corp. and Kazinga Fleming from FX Fowle answered questions and shared with the audience some of the challenges faced daily by facilities management professionals. The Bright Power Team illuminated the audience with an in depth discussion of the "Greener Greater Building Plan" a cornerstone of Mayor Bloombergs PLANYC 2030. The mayor's initiative will have far reaching and long lasting effects all geared towards making corporate New York a more environmentally sensitive environment. Sherman and Vos walked the audience through a myriad of complex rules and regulations that will one day be part of the standard operating procedures for facilities management professionals.
