"Oakland County is leading by example," said Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson. "We have been working to reduce our energy consumption in county buildings. Our efforts have translated to a savings or cost avoidance of $4 million in our utility bills since 2005."
Future workshops are planned for Orion Township, Wixom and Oak Park.
