Frequently Asked Questions
How does E3 guarantee energy and operational savings?
E3 conducts detailed Investment Grade Audits (IGA) and signs legally binding Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC). If the utility savings fall short of projections, E3 reimburses the difference.
What procurement options are available for fast-track execution?
Public institutions in Texas can procure E3 services directly through pre-negotiated cooperative purchasing contracts including TIPS, BuyBoard, and Job Order Contracting (JOC), saving 6 to 12 months of procurement delay.
