  3. Implementation
    Your team will implement the upgrades of your choosing.
  4. Verification
    Documentation will be collected for the implemented measures to verify the energy savings.
  5. Gratification
    Our team will present to you the details of your year-over-year energy and cost savings and send you the incentive for successful completion of the project.
