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.
