You'll discover how they invested just $60-70K and now save $50-60K every year on heating costs alone, plus an additional $50K in water savings by switching from fixed-rate to metered billing.

Board will learn practical strategies for detecting hidden problems like steam distribution issues and water leaks that silently drain budgets. Corrigan covers everything from understanding master steam venting to navigating Local Law 97 compliance, plus how modern building monitoring can extend equipment lifespan and prevent costly emergency repairs.
