About Us

About Abraxas Energy Consulting

Our Vision

We hate waste of any kind. Our resources are finite, and wasting them is short-sighted, expensive and ultimately detrimental to all of us on the planet. Through our energy assessments, trainings, software tools, and daily interactions with the outside world, we provide guidance to others so that they can reduce energy and water waste at their facilities. This is our calling, and it makes achieving a sustainable environment  a cornerstone of all we do.

Why Have Us Audit or Retro-Commission Your Building?

We understand that there are other companies that provide energy audits and retro-commissioning services. We believe we stand out from the others for the following reasons:

• Quality: Customer Satisfaction is very important to us here at Abraxas. Every one of our audits and retro-commissioning projects undergoes a Quality Control Review by an outside firm before being passed onto our customers. We do good work, and take pride in that. Our work compares favorably with any other.
• Experience: ALL of our energy auditors and retro-commissioning agents have at least 10 years of field experience in energy analysis. We don’t send out interns, but only seasoned professionals who have studied hundreds of buildings.
• Credentials: ALL of our energy auditors and retro-commissioning agents are Professional Engineers (PEs) or Certified Energy Managers (CEMs).

Why Purchase Software from Us?

Other software vendors just sell software. They may help you set up your database and teach you how to use it, but their usefulness ends there, as does the partnership. The other guys are software experts, not energy experts.

We sell software too, but we understand the whole picture, and will do our best to help you understand as well. Utility bill tracking should be at the center of a successful energy management program, but for your utility bill tracking to be worthwhile, you need to know all the things you can do with the software, and why you might do it. We won’t just tell you how to make reports, but what reports to make, and what they are telling you. We offer monthly teleconferences that start with broader energy management topics and end with how you can address them using your utility bill tracking database. The others don’t and can’t. We are energy experts first and foremost.
