Modernize Your Campus with
Sustainable Strategies
ESG can help you deliver
on every front.
Through energy savings performance contracting (ESPC) and other available funding, we help colleges and universities strategize, develop, and implement campuswide sustainable capital improvements and plans that pay for themselves.
Colleges and universities are responsible for far more than just preparing students for the future. They are also catalysts of research, economic generators, athletic powerhouses, and community cornerstones.
ESG can show you how to do it all with zero out-of-pocket expenditures or capital outlay.
With guidance from our energy engineers and renewable energy consultants, you can take ambitious steps to curb energy and maintenance costs, increase energy efficiency, replace and upgrade aging infrastructure, and invest in sustainable and renewable technologies.
Enhance Student Recruitment While Improving
University Building Efficiency
Show students that you are invested not just in their academic success, but in their future as well. With ESG at your side, you can redirect projected savings from energy upgrades into student-centric amenities and environmentally friendly technologies that improve livability, workability, and resiliency. There’s no upfront costs or capital expenditures. And with our guaranteed savings, there’s no risk to your bottom line.
Eliminate Unnecessary Spending
Reduce energy and maintenance costs with best-in-class infrastructure, optimized operational and maintenance planning, and levelized cost of utilities.
Reduce Your Environmental Impact
Demonstrate your commitment to environmental priorities—such as achieving LEED certification or shrinking your carbon footprint—with energy efficient, sustainable, and renewable solutions.
Achieve Your Energy Goals
Implement goals outlined in your sustainability plan more expeditiously—and get the word out with a fully packaged communications strategy.
Build Predictability into Your Budget
Address long-term sustainable capital improvement planning and energy spend in a more proactive and predictable manner.
Enhance Your Energy Security
Strengthen your resiliency with sustainably future-proofed physical plants and onsite power generation.
Dedicate More Resources to Student Programs
Gain an edge in the competition for students and talent by spending less on energy and maintenance so you can invest more on research, scholarships, gentrification projects, and other key priorities.
Increase Campus Comfort and Security
Create healthier, more secure, and more productive classrooms, housing, research labs, dining halls, and other student centers with better lighting and acoustics, improved air quality, intelligent building controls, and more.
