Legacy Environmental Services challenges clients to view energy and sustainability issues through the lens of their financial and operational goals. Delivering a positive, measurable return on your investment is our top priority.

Legacy’s energy experts develop a custom Strategic Energy Plan to meet your individual needs. The plan identifies your energy management objectives and details strategic decision-making processes.

Once a Strategic Energy Plan is executed, Legacy advisors continue to share their expertise to ensure the highest level of success is achieved.
