14 thoughts on “City wants building owners to track utility use

  1. Who comes up with these stupid ideas? It must be nice to just sit around in the room and think up more things for people to do to satisfy the government’s increasing need to control and manage our life.

    1. Those that have to substantiate their position because otherwise they would…and should….be considered a waste of taxpayer money.

  2. This is good for everyone, business included. Many businesses, especially small businesses, don’t scrutinize their own utility expenses. Doing so will save them money, meaning greater profits. In turn, the community benefits from less fossil fuels burned to generate electricity or heat, and less water taken from and discharged into White River.

  3. Do tell … the staus of crime and mental health in Marion County? Sure, energy use is a “thing” but has NOTHING TO DO WITH PUBLIC SAFETY.
    recall this mayor! NO LEADERSHIP QUALITY

  4. Hey, here’s a thought. Why don’t you start it out as a pilot project for all government and public buildings before unleashing this giant of a project onto the private sector?! Then, and only then, if the data supports it, you put together a public/private program that will actually work instead of burdening the private sector with all of your nonsense ideas that never work. Prove it first and then come to us in a cooperative manner.

  5. Oppressive government intrusion that can open the floodgates to an endless stream of other “must comply” demands.

    This is another purposed distraction to more important issues our cowardly mayor and administration have their heads in the sand on.

  6. First, I like Vincent’s idea to have government pilot such an initiative. Second, this is a data/technology opportunity. What is the most cost effective way to get the information? The utilities and power companies are already billing all users, government or private. Their billings include addresses and consumption amounts. The focus of all data operations should be “how do we minimize key-strokes”. It is inefficient and redundant, not to mention expensive, for the utilities and power companies to pay employees to enter this data for billing, then require government and businesses to pay employees to retrieve the very same data, and re-enter it into a very similar format for submission to the authorities. Reminds me of the inefficiencies of the healthcare industry, when I fill out the very same forms with the very same information on each and every visit. We don’t need a new law to require anything of anyone. we need to work smarter to use the information we want that is already available. And we definitely don’t need a new layer of government for such an initiative. That’s going the wrong direction.

  7. Note to the City-County Council: If you don’t get a handle on the crime, you won’t have to worry about the utilities that businesses are using because no one will want to come downtown to work anymore.

  8. This project is for a great cause but like others have said it’s going to be a tough sell on the private sector. Very companies are taking this stuff seriously. Cummins shines BRIGHT in regards to environmental awareness but other large companies a lacking big time. It’s funny how they think IPS could provide info for this project. Yeah right. The budget is already in a $15M hole.
