""I really enjoyed working with Dr. Hayes and Dr. Wang. They were very professional and knowledgeable, and I really like the diversity of the team. They come from all walks of life with different genders, races, cultures, religions, and areas of expertise.
Through the assessments, I was able to make some contacts that have become friendships based on common fields of interest. I value the feedback that was provided as some of it led directly to getting financial incentives. It assisted us in reducing our GHG footprint and reducing costs.
More people were open to the ideas presented based on it coming from subject matter experts. A big benefit for us was also just getting to promote that we are working with LSU.""

""We enjoyed our time with the assessment team. The information provided helped us secure funding for some projects to achieve some of our sustainability goals. We are presently upgrading our facility to LED and are requesting funding to install VFD’s in our next 3 budget years. We are also upgrading our tube boilers to package boilers this quarter. Your team did a great job!""
