Coming Soon to SourceOne Events—Production & Event Management Services

An essential aspect of event-planning is having a team to oversee the entire process. From the early stages to the day of and after the event, we believe in having all the bases c overed so that all the small details are taken care of, and no unexpected situation is without a remedy or solution. Event management is broken down into two main teams that involve planning and execution. Once your vision and event-related needs have been clearly laid out, the event manager in turn gives a detailed plan that involves budgeting, marketing, hiring, catering and any other administrative tasks that go into the success of your event. Proper event planning prevents poor performance!

EVERYONE COUNTS! All sectors use energy and play an integral role in impacting DuPage greenhouse gas emissions.

BREAKDOWN OF U.S. ENERGY

CONSUMPTION BY SECTOR

DuPage County invites residents, businesses and government agencies to join the Cool DuPage effort to reduce energy consumption. By working together, we can help DuPage County become more energy efficient and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Cool DuPage effort originated as part of the Sierra Club’s nationwide Cool Counties initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The countywide impact of this effort equates to the elimination of more than 250 million gallons of gasoline emissions.

By participating in Cool DuPage, households could see an average annual savings of $180 with a 10 percent reduction in energy consumption and nearly $360 at the 20 percent reduction target. Businesses fare even better with a potential annual savings of up to $120,000 for a 500,000 square foot office building.

DuPage has set a goal to reduce emissions levels

BE GREEN SAVE GREEN

10% by 2020 and 20% by 2030.
