PANEL
To Manage It, You Need To Measure It
Companies are developing and using software to monitor everything from corporate carbon emissions to in-building energy consumption to rooftop solar panel output. With more carbon regulation around the corner, every company will need a corporate energy and carbon strategy that relies on software to streamline the process. Consumers will be using similar tools, too. This panel asks: What are options out there? What still needs to be done? How will the data be analyzed to make actionable meaning?

The Green Web Effect
The Internet created a social movement that propelled Barack Obama into the White House, and leaders from Al Gore to Google’s Eric Schmidt think the web can rally the same powerful response to fight climate change.
