Several energy agendas compete for airtime, including renewable energy, alternative fuels, and energy efficiency. While most are worthy pursuits, they are challenged in being able to make a significant financial impact, especially in the near term.

For contractors, energy services represent a significant opportunity to increase sales of service agreements and of retrofits.
