Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Partners with JadeTrack to Identify Innovative Solutions for Long-term Sustainability
Columbus, Ohio (July 11, 2017) – The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) and JadeTrack, a cloud-based energy and sustainability management platform, today announced a partnership to identify savings and improve efficiency. JadeTrack combines automated utility bill management, facility benchmarking, real-time monitoring, and sustainability reporting – enabling ODRC to holistically manage and maximize the value of its sustainability initiatives.
Leveraging JadeTrack’s data tracking and sustainability solutions state-wide, ODRC receives the support needed to identify savings and reduce environmental impact. “Prior to partnering with JadeTrack, internal reporting was limited and data quality suffered due to the manual nature of the process,” explained Jenny Hildebrand, Chief, Bureau of Construction, Activation, Maintenance & Sustainability at ODRC. “JadeTrack’s platform is transforming our sustainability efforts with quality data analysis that is accurate and delivered in a timely manner.”
JadeTrack automates utility bill collection for 300+ ODRC accounts at 25 institutions. Equipped with detailed reports, ODRC is reducing its manual labor required on reporting efforts by over 90%. Additionally, a JadeTrack program manager supports ODRC with continuous tracking, monitoring, and benchmarking with ENERGY STAR. Through this partnership, JadeTrack and ODRC are also using sustainability practices as an educational opportunity for inmates going through rehabilitation.
“We’re proud to support ODRC’s sustainability efforts and provide value through powerful data analysis that’s improving financial, social, and environmental outcomes,” said JadeTrack CEO Ryan Prestel. “ODRC is an organization doing meaningful work. Prisons are not cheap to operate and it’s great to see ODRC being a good steward of taxpayer dollars.”
