A great competitor always finds a way to improve efforts to achieve favorable results. ComEd's Smart Ideasfor Your Businessis sponsoring the City of Chicago Green Office Challenge as a way of garnering some of the best ideas on how office buildings and their tenants can make their offices more sustainable in areas such as energy efficiency, education, purchasing, waste, transportation, and water conservation. The Challenge, which is being run by the team at Delta Institute headed by CEO Jean Pogge (pictured), launched February 11 and runs through November. Real estate companies can battle each other in something other than softball;buildings can have tenants compete against each other; and law firms can battle each other outside the courtroom -- the possibilities are endless.
