Background

Cenergistic is a national energy management consultant founded in 1986 in Wichita Falls, Texas and is now based in Dallas, Texas. Since its creation, the company has provided services to K12 districts, universities, and municipalities in Texas and across the country to help them reduce their energy costs. To do this, Cenergistic employs a conservation program that involves behavioral approach strategies, energy managing software tools, and sustainability expertise. This allows clients to reduce their energy consumption and therefore reduce utility spending.

Project

Cenergistic employs Energy Specialists to closely analyze the energy use of the company’s and their client’s buildings. These specialists make recommendations and train staff on how to reduce waste and conserve energy. Cenergistic uses several software tools to help them optimize all energy using utilities. These tools analyze energy use data, find areas of wasted energy that can be improved, and simulates energy-saving changes to buildings. This allows each client and each building to make energy saving changes that are tailored to them, without compromising on comfort inside the building.

Community Impact

Cenergistic has helped more than 220 Texas clients save more than $480 million in hidden electricity, natural gas and water savings, and those numbers keep increasing. On average, Cenergistic’s clients save 20-30 percent annually in utility spending. To achieve this requires no capital investment and no sacrifice in the comfort and quality of building environments. Clients often receive Energy Star building certifications because of their energy savings. In fact, of the total 4,031 ENERGY STAR Building Certifications earned by Texas K12 districts, Cenergistic’s Texas clients have earned 2,107 (52%) of those.
