Why Partner With Veregy For Your Next Project?
  • Savings to Fund Improvements: Rather than relying on your limited budgets or taxpayer funding, our projects maximize energy and operational cost savings to pay for your project. Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) is a budget-neutral approach to making facility improvements that reduce energy and other utilities’ usage, increase operational efficiency and create energy savings. By contracting with a qualified energy service company, the commonwealth can pay for today’s facility upgrades with tomorrow’s energy savings—without tapping into capital budgets!
  • Grant Funding Available Now: The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) includes the largest clean energy incentive effort in U.S. history. Find out how your organization can leverage IRA tax credits to save as much as 50% or more on qualifying project costs.
  • Guaranteed Results: On many projects, the cost savings we propose are guaranteed, meaning that if you don’t generate the expected savings, we will write you a check for the difference. We have never missed a guarantee!
  • Enhanced Environments: From classrooms to community spaces to employee workspaces and beyond, we help you improve comfort within your spaces so that your stakeholders can be proud of the environments where they learn, work, play, and live.
  • Cutting-Edge Technology & Support: Our in-house engineers are experts in building automation and have developed smart building technologies to help you automate tedious processes, monitor facility system performance in real time, measure key performance indicators, and deliver optimal results.

TESTIMONIALS

“I was very impressed from the outset that Veregy representatives sought input from a variety of county stakeholders prior to doing any work at all… I’ve also been very impressed with the open lines of communication that our board has enjoyed with different Veregy employees. If I call any of the Veregy folks, they either answer the phone or they’re back with me in minutes…this is really our project of the century.”

Kevin Ritter

President, Board of Commissioners, Washington County

“Veregy will provide a level of excellence rarely seen in this day and age. I have been able to contact Veregy at any point day or night, and their response time is always immediate. I cannot begin to express the comfort in knowing, that in the middle of a school play on a Saturday night, Veregy was there to guarantee the comfort level in our auditorium. The heating and air has not worked correctly in our auditorium since the school was built, but Veregy was able to correct the issues during this project.”

Chad Belville

Superintendent, Fairfield Union Local Schools

“Another selling point in the installation of the solar array is that the learners will be able to view how the array is working and how much electricity it will be producing at any given time. We really can’t wait to see the future savings through the next phases of the construction.”

Kevin Gerken

Director of Plant Operations, Construction, and Renovation, Northwest State Community College
