Climate legislation that is currently winding its way through the U.S. Congress will affect all businesses - so readying your cinema for climate policy changes is prudent. Compliance with forthcoming energy reporting requirements, usage/reduction standards will necessitate a proactive posture in determining your facilities' energy profile.
WHAT IS SURE TO HAPPEN
Whatever is enacted you can be sure it will include reporting energy usage within a specific time frame. This will require tracking and monitoring usage, setting benchmarks, collecting and consolidating data, and then acting upon it. This is the first step in avoiding the inevitable carbon taxes that the new legislation will bring. Additionally, states may tax energy use above what the federal government will enact. For example, legislation may drive up the cost of electricity in those states where coal-fired plants provide power.
The most important thing for businesses to do is to be aware of and plan for the future. If you wait too long to start implementing basic energy measurement and monitoring you might find yourself spending more in the long run.
