“As the Expo 2020 will be carbon neutral, the concept will generate interest throughout the business community which will want to embrace the Expo’s sustainability theme. We have been leading from the front with myclimate for the past three years and our Hotel Optimizer utility benchmarking software will be upgraded to fully integrate the myclimate calculation for carbon emissions,” revealed Le Biavant.
