WOW can be used extensively in organizations to support a wide variety of functional roles, for example:

Facilities and Energy Management

  • WOW provides facilities and energy managers a single go to application to maintain oversight of all resource consuming systems and renewable energy systems. WOW enables managers to compare resource use to benchmarks, identify performance problems, and evaluate energy/water conservation measures.

 

Corporate Social Responsibility/Sustainability Managers

  • Use WOW to stimulate changes in behaviour through outreach and education. WOW also offers the opportunity to evaluate the success of resource reduction initiatives while providing a platform to communicate feedback on on-going projects.

 

Executive Team

  • Because WOW enables individual users to create their own working space, senior level executives can isolate specific metrics for on-going review.

 

Educators

  • Educators understand the lasting impact that they can make through education for sustainability. WOW provides a wealth of data for sustainability education. Information provided by WOW is more meaningful to students because it is derived from their school and community.

WOW is used by organizations in every sector of the economy including:

Corporate

  • WOW software provides a highly visible means of demonstrating an organization’s commitment to environmental stewardship. WOW also serves to extend the economic benefits of the sustainable technologies used in buildings by stimulating building occupants to exercise greater prudence in their own use of resources.

Institutional

  • WOW helps governmental organizations to broaden the public’s understanding of the environmental impacts of resource use, while demonstrating environmental leadership and the wise use of tax dollars.

Higher Education

  • WOW supports university and college sustainability initiatives by focusing on the steps taken to incorporate sustainability into campus buildings and by helping to foster a conservation ethic in today’s students.

K-12 School Districts

  • WOW helps children to learn about the relationship between their school building and the environment, as well as demonstrating the role of personal choice on resource use.

Healthcare

  • WOW helps health care providers to publicize greening initiatives to internal and community stakeholders while at the same time providing practical tools for the measurement and verification of resource use and the evaluation of energy conservation measures.
