Continuous Energy Improvement
We help commercial and industrial businesses take a comprehensive, ongoing approach to using less energy.
Continuous Energy Improvement (CEI) is a long-term systems approach to energy management that cuts consumption by 10–15% in the first three years. We work with large commercial customers over time to improve equipment efficiencies, streamline industrial processes, and optimize control settings. Energy tracking tools allow you to measure your progress. And an account manager helps you unify your organization around a shared goal and take action.

Strategic Energy Management
Strategic Energy Management is a part of CEI focused on building a culture of energy efficiency. It involves annual self-assessments, protocol checklists, and ongoing dialogue within your organization. Energy tracking tools help reinforce shared successes by showing employees how small actions result in big savings over time. And peer-to-peer reviews, facilitated by your Efficiency Vermont account manager, let you benefit from the experience of others in your industry.
