"Thanks again to you and your team. We checked all the doors throughout the Facility and replaced the sweeps and weathstrips on several main doors and replaced the weatherstriping on all the overhead doors... The building is now considerably easier to heat."

"I would like to thank you and your team for the energy assessment you provided to our company. It was a joy to work with you and your team as we reviewed the opportunities for energy savings within our facility. The assessment report that you prepared for us was very descriptive. We have acted on some of these items already and we are working toward the rest in the upcoming year. I was impressed with your team's professional approach, as it was a superb representation of Michigan State University. We appreciated the opportunity to start a relationship with Michigan State University and look forward to growing our relationship moving forward."

"The MSU team was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in assisting with pushing some projects along. Their data was used in other areas of the plant as well, mainly with a renewable energy installation we are considering for on-site installation. I couldn’t be more happy with their professionalism and dedication to their craft. Job well done!!"
