Energy and Operational Assessments

These no-cost assessments are designed to help PA companies conserve energy and reduce waste in their facilities, lowering energy-related costs, increasing profits, and decreasing overall environmental impact. Our team of highly skilled and certified technical advisors not only assesses existing energy systems, but also explores opportunities for equipment upgrades and quantifies those opportunities into financial terms.

Energy Grants and Rebates

Our team of expert advisors helps identify and secure funding opportunities that offset the cost of capital improvements. We calculate potential savings for our clients and help submit applications for resources earmarked for energy efficiency project implementation. Identification of funding available to your business and estimates of project payback are key components of our technical reports which every client receives.

University Connections

Each of our advisors is embedded within their respective Penn State campus community, fostering strong collaborations with university partners. This connection allows us to link industry clients with student talent, faculty expertise, cutting-edge research facilities, and opportunities for funded collaboration, ensuring businesses have access to premier university resources.
