Our Vision

We believe that our greatest untapped energy resources lie on the customer side of the meter. Xergy Consulting exists to help clients explore and harness those resources. We embrace projects for a wide range of clients: the commercial real estate owner looking to reign in rising utility expenses, the energy management startup trying to harness building science in their platform, the policymaker needing to quantify the energy impacts of new building codes and technologies. We thrive on new energy challenges requiring research and development of new technologies.

Most importantly, we only take on work that we believe has positive environmental and societal impacts.
