CONTINUED... school in sustainability. We are working with Energy Climate Solutions on ways to reduce the College’s energy consumption and carbon emissions in keeping with our core learning values of living entrepreneurially and sustainably,” stated Babson President Leonard Schlesinger. “ECS also has been working with our students, faculty and staff to support Babson's strategic goal of focusing curricular and co-curricular activities on the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit."

“Clark University faculty, staff and students are very actively engaged in initiatives to promote environmental sustainability,” said Clark University Provost and President-Elect David Angel. “Our Climate Action Plan sets a goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2030. We are delighted to be working with ECS as we undertake initiatives to accomplish this goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions for Clark.”

EnergyClimate Solutions will be collaborating with the state’s electrical and gas utilities on efficiency implementation. “We at National Grid know that large-scale energy efficiency and conservation programs are among the fastest and most effective means we have to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower our customers’ energy bills,” said National Grid president Tom King. “We are delighted that ECS has taken this innovative approach to help this segment of our customers achieve significant energy savings, green their campuses and lower their energy bills.”

Doug Foy, an environmental and governmental leader and former head of the Conservation Law Foundation for 25 years, is one of the company founders. “I believe that it will be the private sector that ultimately delivers massive energy efficiency implementation and carbon emission reductions. And it will be exciting new companies like EnergyClimate Solutions that will find innovative ways to make the dramatic progress we need to address climate change, in this case, on college campuses.”

EnergyClimate Solutions assists colleges in implementing large-scale energy, water and climate programs that reduce consumption, costs and carbon emissions. The company has the capability to install renewable energy and cogeneration projects as well. ECS can help colleges implement new technologies and building advances resulting in high performance facilities that reduce energy and water use and costs significantly. In addition to mechanical and equipment installations, ECS works with colleges to launch fun, competitive and interactive programs, engaging and uniting students, faculty and staff in demonstrating effective sustainability actions.

Clean energy, finance, utility and corporate leaders have invested in ECS, including Scott Brown, CEO of New Energy Capital; Mark Farber, former CEO of Evergreen Solar; Dennis Kanin, Principal of New Boston Ventures; Jack Kutner, COO of Big Belly Solar; Jim Lang, former COO of Cambridge Energy Research Associates; Joanna Lau, CEO of Lau Technologies; Herb Magid, Managing Partner of Energy Investors Fund; and Mitch Tyson, CEO of Advanced Electron Beams. National Grid has also invested in the company through an unregulated subsidiary in order to accelerate energy and natural gas efficiency implementation on college campuses.
