30% of municipal energy is used inefficiently.
Are you a candidate for an Energy Performance Contract?

The ECG Group is the school district’s advocate in their oversight of energy performance contracts (EPCs), collaborating with and managing the energy service company (ESCO) and architect so your energy project successfully achieves its environmental, financial and educational goals. Our approach sets the industry standard: No firm possesses our in-depth knowledge, proven track record, or client-focused commitment. The same team that leads our firm leads every EPC engagement, bringing a level of expertise and personable, accessible service that is unmatched.

When you think EPCs, think ECG.

The involvement of this firm in the earliest stages of the energy performance contract process is critical to the ultimate success of the project."
