Smart Energy Management

Demand Reduction

New technologies offer an array of energy efficient heating, cooling and illumination choices. Creekwood analyzes data to assess current energy usage patterns to develop a matrix of energy saving measures.

Supply

De-regulation makes electric and natural gas supply commoditities. Creekwood creates a competitive bidding process resulting in lower prices.

On /Off-Site Solar Storage

On-site technologies (solar/storage/CHP) may make sense at some facilities, depending on location and utility rates. On-site storage can provide energy revenue to offset energy expense while reducing your carbon footprint.

Creekwood is your single clean energy partner.

Balancing the value of existing assets while leveraging new and sustainable resources like solar, require expert understanding and know-how as well as finding the time to manage it all. Creekwood is your single clean energy partner. Whether it’s energy infrastructure upgrades, clean energy generation or utility cost savings we design and implement the strategy that gets you there faster with less complexity and distractions

Optimize Existing Energy Assets

We view your current building portfolio as an opportunity by strengthening the reliability of millions of square feet of infrastructure. Upgrading technology in lighting, HVAC, and controls immediately saves utility costs while improving operational efficiency and occupant comfort.

Fixed Price Solar

We build utility scale solar that results in significantly reduced energy costs. Combining smaller scale solar (on-site) with larger, utility scale solar farms creates efficient new energy production.

Single-Point Process Management

We are your single point of contact, from identifying the opportunity and recommending a customized approach, implementing the process through to ongoing support and continued energy savings.

Financing

Budget Neutral Financing Makes it Happen

Our innovative off-balance sheet financing solutions bring low-cost capital with faster approvals.

We tailor and arrange financing options upfront to make clean energy goals a reality. Combining all of this with deep energy retrofits significantly reduces costs and carbon emissions.
