Who We Are
Challenges +
Energy use and its impacts are products of choices. Our challenge is guiding the largest energy users to more sustainable choices. Meeting this challenge takes more than technology or information alone. We work to understand the motivations and dynamics of organizations in order to cultivate better energy management and greater adoption of clean-energy technologies.
Solutions +
We use behavioral science and analysis to drive investment and operations toward a cleaner energy future. We focus wherever decisions are made in acquiring, operating and retooling buildings and their energy-using components. We bring clean, responsible energy options to light and make those pathways actionable for large, complex organizations.
