About Small Energy Group

There is little doubt that the challenges of meeting our energy needs in the
21st century will be daunting, and that new approaches will be needed to address
them. The Small Energy Group was created to address the energy management needs
of building managers , because buildings are responsible for over a third of the
world’s energy use, and there are tremendous opportunities for increased
efficiencies at negligible costs.

Frustrated by the endless talk in the sustainability community, the heavy
administration of government programs, and the slow pace of change in the
private sector, the founders of the Small Energy Group set out to build
something special. We are creating a business that addresses the needs of
building-level energy consumers. The focus on buildings is driven by two
realities. First, that the world’s population is moving to cities, and hence to
medium to large buildings. Second, as the world moves to distributed electricity
generation, the building will become a key element of electricity supply as well
as electricity demand.
