Create a Culture of Sustainability.
We’re creating a movement in sustainability. It’s what we believe in; it’s how we think. We instill “green” behavior into the DNA of your organization to preserve our planet. The energy conservation services we provide extend beyond facilities and into the homes of those we serve, creating a lasting impact for generations to come.
Decades of experience have taught us not only what needs to be changed in your environment, but how to encourage support for your conservation program so you can produce and sustain the greatest level of savings possible.

Opti-Commissioning®
What do Opti-Commissioning® services mean for your organization?
Our Opti-Commissioning® services focus on client consultation and education to optimize system settings and schedules throughout the year, based on seasonal or opportunistic conditions. Our Opti-Commissioning® services encompass three unique approaches for reducing energy consumption — equipment calibration, facilities monitoring and behavioral change — to reach peak client savings.”
Calibration
Cenergistic reviews operational practices year-round to make sure opportunities for energy savings are maximized. This helps ensure equipment is optimized to run at peak efficiency.
Monitoring
Embedding Energy Specialists onsite promotes coordination between operations staff and the energy program’s plan of action. Combining periodic site audits with the added assistance of our patented Cenergistic Optimize® energy management software platform, Cenergistic’s Energy Specialists and visiting engineers and experts monitor facilities in real time and address problems as they arise.
Behavior
Changes to energy-using behaviors across an organization teach employees and patrons alike the skills necessary to live sustainably over the long term. Behavioral changes complement our Opti-Commissioning® services through further lowering of energy consumption, optimizing thermostat programming, lighting control and scheduling heating, ventilation or air conditioning use to closely fit building use patterns.
