Energy Partner of the Better Schools Partnership™

Ameresco Inc. of Framingham, Massachusetts, one of North America's fastest-growing energy service companies, recently acquired DukeSolutions, a former subsidiary of Duke Energy Corporation and a leader in providing comprehensive energy services for institutional and commercial energy users.

Ameresco Inc. President and CEO George Sakellaris has enjoyed an unparalleled track record of accomplishment and has an outstanding reputation as an energy services provider. The total focus and core competency of the organization will be directed to the energy services business and the requirements of our customers.

The Canadian operation, now Ameresco Canada, with offices in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton and Montreal, is able to offer its clients a wide range of services nationwide. The main focus of the company has been the education sector, and we have been the premier energy services company serving this market for over 20 years. Ameresco Canada has over 25 years of energy management experience. We have completed more than 50 projects (various phases), and are responsible for more than $135 million in energy and operating cost savings in more than 3000 buildings across Canada.

As founder of the Better Schools Partnership™, Ameresco Canada works closely with school boards to carefully structure the best possible utility solution aimed solely at the funding of school renewal, namely school infrastructure.

The savings from these measures can be re-directed by boards to meet school renewal needs and improve organizational and operational processes. The goal is to create "Better Schools" while enhancing relationships and partnering with internal stakeholders such as trustees, schools, parents, staff and other departments.

Ameresco has worked with many school boards to provide comprehensive, turnkey solutions that have either met or exceeded school boards' expectations. Ameresco looks forward to working closely with all school boards to identify their needs and work in partnership to achieve them.
