In the Beginning
In the 1980s, CSG field staff would walk around neighborhoods, observing New England homes after winter storms. A clean, snow-free roof meant that the residence was not insulated properly. According to Steve Cowell, CSG's CEO and chairman, “nature’s thermal camera” identified which homes needed building shell improvements. Known then as the Community Energy Partnership, the company began an energy audit program for Boston Edison (now NSTAR) in 1984.
Today, CSG conducts nearly a half million home energy assessments annually for utilities and energy efficiency organizations nationwide. We have reached more than 2 million homes in our 28-year history and we aspire to reach millions more as we help build a clean energy economy.
