Bob Rice

Energy Manager & Indoor Air Quality Coordinator, Hamilton Southeastern Schools, Fishers, Indiana

I used the pre-solar energy data from prior years, so I can calculate basically how much energy I should be using versus my modern utility rate [...] that’s a $320,000 savings right there.

Brett Hewitt

Assistant Director of Facility Systems, Wake Forest University

[Students and parents] come in with questions and issues [...] and we've got to be able to come up with an answer for them as quickly as possible and justify why we're doing the things we're doing. Asset Essentials allows us to do that.
