Green Government Task Force member William Cagney, business manager of the International Union of Operating Engineers, is training 800 maintenance workers throughout the city to comply with the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Star program, which requires buildings to reduce power consumption by 10 percent to qualify. "We have a major impact," said Cagney, whose workers run about 30 large buildings Downtown and in Oakland. He's encouraging the group to push companies such as PNC Bank to build environmentally friendly buildings.
