There is no shortage of strategies we can employ to reach those objectives—and our team is here to help you develop a custom strategy for your needs. From assisting you in the transition to clean energy, to planning electric vehicle infrastructure, here’s everything you need to know about sustainability consulting.

What is Sustainability Consulting?

Sustainability consulting is a comprehensive service designed to assist businesses in developing sustainable strategies to reduce their environmental impact and improve energy efficiency. Not only does it set you up for a cleaner, greener future of energy use—sustainability consulting can help you improve occupant comfort and workplace safety while reducing energy costs. 

Ultimately, our goal is to help as many businesses as possible reach net zero emissions, and sustainability consulting is an excellent place to start. We’re here to guide you through sustainability, efficiency, and responsible business practices.

From facility emissions and energy use to investment accountability and logistics, sustainability consulting provides a wealth of opportunities for today’s business owners. So, let’s take a close look at your options regarding sustainability consulting.

Elevate Your On-Site Amenities

EV Planning and Infrastructure

Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly becoming a popular mode of transportation for individuals and businesses alike. As more and more companies begin to incorporate EVs into their fleets, it is essential to ensure that the infrastructure is in place to support these vehicles. 

In 2022 alone, electric vehicle sales increased by 60%, and 1 in 7 vehicles sold globally were electric! Even if you’re not using EVs at your facility just yet, installing electric vehicle chargers can make your business stand out. For consumers, having EVs can increase dwell time and the likelihood of return visits.

And for potential employees, EV charging (and more broadly, sustainable business practices) presents an attractive employment benefit. Iconergy offers EV planning and infrastructure services, from site selection to design and installation of charging stations, to ensure that businesses can embrace the benefits of electric vehicles without the worry of infrastructure challenges.

Improve water efficiency

Water Consulting

We always incorporate water efficiency measures as a part of our evaluation process. For cities and districts that operate water systems, opportunities exist for water system management improvements that have been shown to save significant amounts of water and money through efficiency, meter accuracy, usage reductions, and leak detection.

And that’s only one opportunity to improve efficiency within a multitude of energy systems; imagine what efficiency can look like when multiple systems are properly engineered and optimized!
