Accelerating Commercial Building Decarbonization

CET’s unique model promotes trust, transparency, and comprehensiveness.

Our energy consultants and engineers work with businesses to identify opportunities for energy efficiency and electrification and help prioritize measures based on their budget and timeline.

We collaborate with installers to get the work done, interface with utilities to secure and process incentives, and provide quality assurance checks at the completion of projects. We maintain years-long relationships with our customers to support sequential projects.

Audacity

We’re not daunted by the pace and scale of work needed this decade; we’re here for it.

Imagination

We are continuously innovating our services and approaches to ease the energy transition for our customers and clients. 

Collaboration

We work through win-win partnerships with contractors, other vendors, and utilities because we know we go further together.

Elevating Commercial Energy Programs

Cost-Effective Energy Savings

We achieve a maximum level of cost-effective energy savings per dollar spent.

We efficiently acquire customers through partnerships with installers and other clients, a highly skilled sales team, and Main Streets events, offering businesses on-the-spot energy assessments. Our experienced technical and program staff use well-honed processes to bring projects to completion successfully and efficiently.

We match the technical requirements of the job with the skills of our staff and aim to achieve long lifetime measure savings, maximizing energy and carbon saved per dollar of program costs.

Inclusive Services

We champion equity and maximize participation.

We have a strong focus on equity and inclusion and track and hold ourselves accountable to reach diverse customer segments, including non-English speakers, BIPOC-owned businesses, and environmental justice communities. Our multi-lingual staff help ensure no customer is left behind.

We are also uniquely poised to recruit customers from other CET programs, including solid waste and Farm Energy programs, serving as a one-stop shop in our customers’ decarbonization journeys.

Technical Services

We offer sound technical advice so our customers can focus on their businesses.

· Energy assessments combined with the installation of instant savings measures.

· Energy action plans and decarbonization roadmaps.

· Heat pump consultations and design reviews.

· Post-installation quality assurance checks.

Innovative Approaches

As a mission-driven nonprofit, we’re compulsively focused on outcomes.

We have a long tradition of identifying gaps in the marketplace that our for-profit peers aren’t serving and making those our niche. This is how we became the leading commercial weatherization vendor in Massachusetts and developed novel approaches to engaging small and micro businesses in utility programs.

Our creative, building-science based approach to bundling projects and addressing weatherization barriers ensures more projects pass benefit-cost tests, while maximizing benefits to utilities and customers.
