There are many risks for heating and cooling businesses in this ever-changing marketplace, but there is also a tremendous opportunity for growth. DES’s expertise provides your business with a strategic edge.

DES provides consulting services on a variety of environmental issues. If your company is trying to find its role in the nationwide push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we can offer insights and actionable recommendations.

We have extensive experience in renewable energy consulting

As everyone in the heating and cooling business knows, residential energy has shifted dramatically in recent years. This shift has involved the integration of biofuel into the national supply chain of heating fuels and the transition to other renewable thermal technologies. It also involves portfolio standards, emissions standards, and cap-and-trade programs that provide financial incentives for renewable thermal energy. Examples include the Massachusetts Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard and the emerging market for carbon offset credits.

DES has worked in these over-the-counter markets for years, monetizing renewable and alternative energy certificates for our clients. We provide guidance for strategic growth so that organizations can remain profitable, and even increase their profits, while promoting the reduction of greenhouse gases.

Our recent renewable energy consulting work has included:

• Designing renewable thermal portfolio standards
• Providing insight on the market dynamics of emissions standards and cap-and-trade programs
• Evaluating government carbon-reduction programs
• Designing policy measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector
• Designing pathways for states to meet their 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas reduction goals

We are experts in state portfolio standards, emissions standards, cap-and-trade programs, low-carbon-fuel standards, biofuels and other renewable thermal technologies. Our goal is to integrate cleaner fuels across the United States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a brighter future for the next generation.

In short, DES offers top-tier renewable energy consulting for the thermal sector, because this is our specialty.

Experience the difference that having renewable energy experts on your side can make.
