MainStreet Efficiency

MainStreet works with corporate and community partners with an innovative business process to deliver energy efficiency (EE) programs nationwide. As utilities, business, communities and individuals struggle to meet their growing energy needs with new power plants, MainStreet provides them with the alternative of reducing their energy demand by installing more efficient technologies such as lighting, heating and cooling systems. Compared to building more power plants, our EE solution is cheaper, more rapidly deployed, better for our environment, better for homes and businesses and supports a more-secure energy future. Our partners' impeccacable reputation in energy services is founded on our track record for delivering projects and programs on time and on budget. Our proprietary solution has been particularly effective in mass markets where we have lowered the energy costs of over 100,000 homes and small businesses. MainStreet and its partners' companies have built tremendous knowledge in understanding how our customers use energy and how we can lower their costs. Combining the use of mobile software, wireless technology and a powerful Web-based program management platform, our partners are able to scale the delivery of services for tens of thousands of customers a year, resulting in a substantial impact on energy and the environment.

An integral part of the solutions that MainStreet Efficiency provides to clients and customers is through the use of innovative software from our key partner, EnerPath. The software was used to perform over 200,000 real-time EE transactions in 2008 with various EE measures delivered to the residential and non-residential markets. An example of this is a small business direct install program targeted to business owners in the city of Los Angeles, where approximately 20,000 energy audits were performed with measured installations that yielded over 73,000,000 kilowatt hours of savings in 2008. Another one of our programs delivered nearly 4,000 residential audits for gas and electric measures, far exceeding the client's EE goals and expectations.

MainStreet Efficiency utilizes advanced software tools that enable our communities and partners to efficiently and effectively manage EE programs. In combination with strong management skills, know-how and support from a large nationwide network of qualified subcontractors, we are able to quickly develop and implement programs of sizable scale and can deliver negawatts in a manner that is cost-effective for utilities and other clients.

From preliminary assessment and evaluation, through the program design phase and start-up, working collaboratively with our clients through implementation, commissioning and program close-out, MainStreet Efficiency and its partners take ownership in the management of programs from start to finish. A tenant of our services offering enables clients to track and monitor results in real-time and to generate meaningful reports consistent with their needs. In this process, MainStreet Efficiency assumes total responsibility to ensure that programs are implemented on time and are achieving the expected results. The turn-key "Design Implementation" approach guarantees success at every stage and the highest level of quality and customer satisfaction.
