June 16, 2005: Siemens To Help Chicago Schools Manage Utility Costs
BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. - Siemens Building Technologies Inc. will help Chicago Public Schools (CPS) better track and manage its utility costs by providing a utility billing monitoring and energy information service.
The service consists of centralizing to a common online database the utility bills and meter data from the gas and electric accounts of 700 CPS schools, and then verifying the accuracy of the billing. Siemens will also provide training to CPS personnel on how to use utility bill management and advanced energy analysis reports to track and save energy.
