"This year alone, we have provided energy efficiency measures like solar attic fans, radiant barrier, attic insulation, whole house weatherization and other energy saving measures to a thousand or so clients throughout Austin, Round Rock and other parts of Central Texas. It is great when we are recognized by the Austin Chamber of Commerce for not only saving people money on their utility bills, but also helping to save the environment."

Nomination finalists in the environmental category will be selected by a panel of judges based on numerous criteria including: their integration of innovation into their daily work environment, implementation of new energy saving and environmentally conscious technology, and recent innovations that have improved their service offerings.
