by Ann Withanee — November 17, 2010—Greenhouse gas software and services firm FirstCarbon Solutions has launched a subsidiary to help companies meet their broader energy and sustainability goals.
FirstCarbon Energy Services, producer of ghgTrack software, will now offer a variety of services ranging from facilitating energy efficiency rebate programs, to acting as a third-party auditor for energy service companies to verify energy savings from projects.
The company is already helping clients manage data around carbon, Tipton said, with the next phase re-purposing the data to bring in energy aspects. FirstCarbon Solutions prides itself as being an end-to-end software and consulting firm, with a focus on data management, for the compliance, brand and efficiency markets.
The Energy Services arm will provide energy bill analysis and payment services, ensuring accuracy and proper rate schedule, or even negotiate a more favorable rate schedule if needed. The company can also support rebate programs for states, municipalities and utilities, taking care of energy rebate processing, reporting and payment. It already manages California’s Cash for Appliances program.
FirstCarbon Energy Services can also help clients design and implement energy efficiency and sustainability programs, while also managing the data.
“It’s really allowing clients to focus on their core business,” said Tom Hamilton, who is heading the Energy Services subsidiary. “We bring best practices to table. We can do it cost effectively, so that trickles down to the clients’ bottom line.”
