How It All Began

This vision traces back to 1986 in Wichita Falls, Texas.

The school district needed air conditioning, but the cost was daunting — not only the units themselves, but the utility bills that would follow. Dr. William S. Spears, a school board member and businessman, refused to accept that students’ comfort had to come at an unsustainable price. By introducing disciplined practices, careful measurement, and accountability, he developed a strategy that allowed the district to install air conditioning while actually lowering overall energy costs.

That breakthrough led to the founding of Energy Education®, focused on helping schools save energy and reinvest in students. As the mission grew beyond education, the company became Cenergistic®, representing a broader commitment to energy innovation and sustainability nationwide.

our growth

From our beginnings in K–12 schools, we quickly expanded into universities, local governments, non-profits and faith-based organizations, all seeking to do more with limited resources. Soon, we recognized the unique demands of Healthcare facilities, which opened the door to serving hospitals and healthcare systems. Over time, our expertise has grown to serve commercial and industrial organizations, where the need for energy accountability continues to accelerate.

our founder

Over the past four decades, Dr. Spears has guided Cenergistic with vision and determination. A respected businessman, philanthropist, and namesake of the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University, he has dedicated his career to advancing energy efficiency and sustainability. His generosity also established the William S. Spears Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership at Southern Methodist University, carrying forward his passion for innovation and community impact.
