	Companies are missing significant savings in annual operating costsaround $40,000 for every 50,000 square feet in office space using no-cost or low-cost measuresand opportunities to increase property values, improve employee morale through more comfortable working environments and help the environment. So why arent more companies taking advantage of these energy (and cost) saving measures? A variety of financial and operational obstacles get in the way of making the business case for energy efficiency. Together with our partner, Net Impact, EDF embeds trained MBA students in companies to identify cost-effective energy efficiency improvements. Climate Corps Fellows spend up to three months identifying and analyzing savings opportunities. They also develop detailed investment and implementation plans that help businesses cut costs and reduce emissions. Their host companies in turn commit to opening up their financial and operational records, providing senior level support and sharing results. Whether you are a corporate executive, a passionate steward for the environment or a student looking to make a difference, we encourage you to learn more about how you can support and participate in the Climate Corps program. Become a Climate Corps Fellow In January 2009, we will be recruiting new MBA-candidate Climate Corps Fellows. EDF is partnering with Net Impact to recruit our next class of MBA-candidate Climate Corps Fellows.
