Client Testimonials

The ECG Group has been instrumental to the County’s progress on our EPC initiative. Their team’s professionalism and expertise is a vital component of our project committee. Their EPC service goes far beyond the engineering design of energy upgrades. They’ve assisted the County with energy benchmarking, procurement, legal negotiations, and the presentation of complex information to the County’s Legislature. I have no doubt that their presence will be critical for the upcoming contract approval process by the County Legislature.

The energy performance contract offers tremendous financial, infrastructure, and environmental benefits for the community. Not only are we receiving close to $30 million worth of needed building upgrades with zero taxpayer impact, but we are also modernizing our facilities and reducing long-term operational costs for years to come.

The Town and School District of Southington, CT EXCEEDED Year One Guaranteed Cost Savings! The ACTUAL cost avoidance was $952,022 which is $13,528 BEYOND the guarantee during the construction phase and year one of operation.

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections EXCEEDED Year One Guaranteed Cost Savings by 350%! Between the efficiency improvements and fuel rate reductions, the ACTUAL cost avoidance was $9,808,499 which is $7,628,882 BEYOND the guarantee during the construction phase and year one of operation. These savings resulted from electric measures, fuel switch savings, capital improvements, and waste water treatment plant process improvements that were implemented in the GESA project.

ECG’s team is extremely knowledgeable about the many intricacies of an energy performance contract.

With the latest technology, at no cost to the community, we’ll make our buildings more efficient and lower our energy consumption… Schools are the center of their communities. If we can share that message, the sense of how important it is to conserve our natural resources, hopefully it becomes important to the whole community.
