EDF Climate Corps is an innovative summer fellowship program places talented MBA students from top-ranking business schools in leading companies to develop practical, actionable energy efficiency plans.

Working within a facilities management or corporate sustainability department, each fellow develops a customized energy plan designed to meet the host company’s needs.

Fellows work across company departments to:

Take an inventory of the host company’s energy use through review and analysis of professional energy audits, interviews with key employees and direct observation
Model the financial impact of upgrades to lighting, office equipment and heating and cooling systems, factoring in available rebates and incentives
Facilitate collaboration among multiple energy efficiency stakeholders
Map out a strategy for energy efficiency investments and present the business case to management
