It’s been a little while since we have spoken about our Tool Lending Library and Smart Buildings Center has been working diligently to make this available. We’ve already ordered several tools (more on that next week), received many shipments, and are readying our system to begin lending them out.

The Tool Lending Library is going to be a great resource towards energy efficiency for the State of Washington, and Smart Buildings Center would be remiss without making sure we thanked some key players in helping us move forward with this project. Our neighbors at PG&E have been operating a Tool Lending Library for over 20 years, and when Smart Buildings Center was interested in creating our Library we went straight to them! Take a peek at the PG&E Tool Library. Bill Pottinger and Ryan Stroupe at the PG&E Pacific Energy Center Tool Library have been a tremendous resource and have been so generous with their time, experience, and expertise. They were even willing to have us come see their Library twice, thanks Bill and Ryan! You rock!
