What They Are Saying

In a competitive market, I am always looking for advantages. Ecologic gives us an advantage. Their insights in conservation and sustainability allow us to offer our customers cost-effective solutions that make difficult projects viable.

Michael Scherr President, EMJAY Engineering

Ecologic means continuity. They provide the end-to-end expertise we need to successfully guide our project from concept to execution. Having Wayne Hudson and crew on board allowed us to realize better outcomes, including more rapid paybacks due to energy savings, than ever before.

Walt Schulz Jr. Director of Facilities and Leasing, BW Tech at UMBC South

Ecologic was instrumental in the success of our energy performance project involving HVAC systems upgrade in a series of government office buildings. Their effort assembled the right team to implement our EPC, helping us achieve energy reductions that are estimated to save taxpayers several million dollars in utility and operational costs.

Andrew Miller Northeast Director, Energy Systems Group

What we value most about Ecologic is the depth of experience. It’s rare to find someone who has a background in both mechanical engineering and construction — and a keen understanding of the renewable energy industry. Partnering with Ecologic allowed us to go geothermal with the most cost-effective solutions.

Todd Harman President, Hallaton Inc.
