Trusted ENERGY and SUSTAINABILITY management

Enable your ESG data for best results

A systematic path to enable compliance grade data management for cost and GHG reduction and other key ESG goals.

Energy Advantage is a Total Managed Solution – ESG Expert Team, Systematic Data Management Approach, and Digital Hub to Ensure Clients Success.

Energy Advantage with over 25 years in the energy and sustainability industry has witnessed firsthand the evolution in focus on the part of commercial customers, stakeholders, and the public alike on climate change actions – today this focus has never been stronger.

Global warming consequences and operating costs driven by energy, water and waste continue to increase. For commercial organizations with large real estate portfolios these factors and GHG compliance challenges are material and represent some of their highest controllable costs and risks.

As the pressures to manage risk are growing more urgent, so are the challenges associated with the effort to enable all the relevant data in one place reliably and make it fully accessible and available for action. Whether trying to manage climate risks or reduce utility costs, a portfolio-wide approach built on consistent processes which enables access to all the relevant data is essential to achieve the best results and avoid wasting valuable time and financial resources.
