EBJ Business Achiever of the Week: O’Brien & Gere

Kudos this week to O’Brien & Gere (Syracuse, NY), winner of a 2010 Business Achievement Award for significant growth in its Energy Solutions Program. Revenue grew from $580,000 in 2009 to about $5 million in its engineering segment through 2010, with an estimated $15 million in follow-up design-build services. Starting with more traditional energy audit and climate action planning services in the higher education sector, the Energy Solutions Program has rapidly expanded into the industrial, municipal, and federal sectors. Services now include industrial processes, waste heat recovery, thermal energy storage, waste solvent reuse, sustainability, energy planning and procurement, renewable energy, GHG/carbon footprint reduction, CSR and energy project financing. As of the end of 2010, the Energy Solutions Program had grown to a staff of 15 engineers, designers, and construction personnel.For a full list of EBJ’s 2010 Business Achievement Award winners, please visit www.ebiresearch.com/2010_EBI_%20Awards.
