VCx Program

VCx

Start Saving. Stop Wasting.

VCx is a fully funded service that helps participating businesses reduce their annual energy consumption by an average of 15%. We achieve this without selling hardware or asking for investment. Instead, we use your utility data to help you get better performance from the systems you already own.

It’s a risk-free way to lower your business costs — no audits, no construction projects, no headaches.

How VCx Works

We Find the Waste in YOUR Building

Our analysts review your specific smart meter data to spot where your business is bleeding energy and money. These aren't generic tips — we're looking at your actual heating and cooling patterns, your equipment schedules, and when your systems are running after you've locked up for the night

You Get an Expert Who Learns YOUR Operation

A dedicated Power TakeOff Energy Advisor digs into your findings — not a template, but what's actually happening at your location. They'll walk you through what we found in your data and what it means for your specific setup.

Simple Changes Tailored to YOUR Facility

We guide you through no-cost fixes based on how your business actually runs — maybe it's your thermostat schedule, maybe it's when your equipment powers down. You make the adjustments that fit your operation, and we verify that the savings appear on your utility bill.
