What Is Energy Management?

Procure your energy from a reliable and cost effective source.
Monitor and measure your energy use.
Reduce your demand for energy resources.
Design for and build the assets needed to support your energy management goals.

Where It Comes From
Energy procurement can be perplexing. You may be subject to volatile and high utility costs, or maybe you're wondering how to participate in a clean energy transition. Whether it's solar, wind or storage, we're here to bring market expertise and integrity. You can put your trust in Bowerbird. -
How It’s Analyzed
Energy data should be captured, monitored and measured to provide you the most accurate and recent information. This data is the only tool you have to assess your progress and costs. Monitoring so much can be daunting. Let our technology team design a custom solution for you. -
The Way It’s Used
Buildings waste over a third of the energy they use — and saving 1 kWh equals 0.85 pounds of CO2 emissions. But what does this really mean? That there's a huge opportunity for savings. Once we understand your unique situation, we provide a portfolio of strategies to reduce your energy usage and expenses through energy efficiency and conservation. -
How to Build for the Future
Plan for and construct your buildings to support your goals. Green buildings offer safer and healthier spaces for occupants, and electric vehicle charging stations support their values. Build for the future of a sustainable environment with Bowerbird.
