Realtors have determined that a healthy, well-maintained landscape can represent 10-20 percent of a residential or commercial property's value. In addition, plantings contribute more than just a pleasant appearance, helping to control erosion, enhance air quality and more.
This highly interactive working session will discuss how to keep your landscaping attractive, ways to save money, and how can you be assured that you are receiving value from contractors.

This roundtable discussion will cover aspects and benefits of submetering such as:
- Introduction to basic metering and submetering
- Who benefits most from metering installation? - Landlord or tenants
- Requirements for setting up a successful sub metering program for energy tracking and billing.
