Eric Nielsen
Principal

Ever since a discussion in my 7th grade science class, I’ve been driven to improve processes so society can experience the same positive outcomes with less effort or impact on natural resources. Throughout my decade-plus long career, I've approached this end-goal from several perspectives and industries ranging from small businesses to Fortune 150 companies, from environmental labs to large retail corporations to commercial real estate. Regardless of the industry or company, the focus has always been the same: use less energy and pay less for what you do use.
Just because the desired outcome is shared, however, doesn’t mean that the approach is always the same. With my diverse background, I have the tools and customer-centric approach to tailor solutions for your specific business, priorities, and risk profile. There is no magic, silver bullet solution, but I work side-by-side with customers to develop a program that delivers predictable expenses and significant savings that go straight to the bottom line.
