Envision Charlotte ReGEN Program
Generator Survey
Dear building managers and Envision Charlotte supporters:
Envision Charlotte is designing a voluntary program (ReGEN) to help partner companies enhance operation of their backup building generators to lower operating costs and reduce harmful air emissions. Backup diesel generators represent a significant source of air pollution in uptown Charlotte. Companies that complete this survey will assist Envision Charlotte in the development of this program, be eligible for early participation, and, after successful program completion, be designated a ReGEN Leader.
Your survey responses will be kept strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. If you have questions at any time about this survey or the ReGEN program, you may contact Greg Johnson at 704-578-9821 or by email at [email protected].
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please begin the survey by clicking on the Continue button below.

| |
|
|
