The Ohio History Connection is a statewide history organization with the mission to spark discovery of Ohio’s stories. They carry out history services for Ohio and its citizens focused on preserving and sharing the state’s history. The vision of the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is to become recognized nationally as the leader among presidential libraries and museums.
“We want to lower our operating costs at the site so that we can direct more funding to mission centered events, such as educational programs, new exhibits and the preservation of our buildings and grounds. We worked with OHC and Energility to get an energy audit. They were great to work with, helped us get some immediate savings right after the audit, and we have a plan.”
