Modernize Your Campus with
Cost-Effective Strategies
Great buildings attract
top students and faculty.
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.
Modernize facilities with zero out-of-pocket expenditures or capital outlay.
With guidance from our engineering and construction team, you can take ambitious steps to reduce energy and maintenance costs, increase energy efficiency, replace and upgrade aging infrastructure, and invest in new technologies.
Enhance Student Recruitment and
Improve University Buildings
Show students that you are invested in their academic success, and in their future as well. With Energy Systems Groups at your side, you can redirect projected savings from energy upgrades into student-centric amenities and new technologies that improve livability, workability, and resiliency. There’s often upfront costs or capital expenditures. And with our guaranteed savings, there’s no risk to your bottom line.
