Energy Efficiency & Sustainability Solutions

Sustainability driven investments are at an all-time high as organizations both public and private feel compelled to take action against climate change. Meanwhile, rising energy costs, carbon taxes and the continued decline in the cost of renewable and distributed generation is encouraging more organizations to look closer at how they procure energy. Finally, energy efficiency has recently benefitted from a significant increase in grant and incentive funding, both provincially and federally, making these investments in existing buildings and infrastructure especially attractive.

With this ever-evolving landscape of challenges and opportunities it can be difficult to know how to evaluate one’s options and where to begin. How do you ensure you are making the most informed decision? What is the optimal intersection of sustainability and ROI? How can you be sure you are managing risk for your stakeholders and receiving the most value for your investment? Where do you find the time and resources to navigate the various options and grant programs at your disposal? Where do you start?
