70% of the world's electricity is used to light, cool, and heat our buildings. Energy efficiency is clearly one of the defining topics of our new energy economy. Energy efficient buildings, industrial processes and transportation could reduce the world's energy needs in 2050 by one third, and greatly help to control global emissions of greenhouse gases, according to the International Energy Agency.
Entero Energy Services identifies and implements energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives to help small business cut operating costs and reduce their carbon footprint.
