About
Building Energy has deployed 3.1 megawatts of solar PV across Vermont since 2007, making it one of Burlington's most established commercial renewable energy and efficiency contractors. Operating out of offices in Williston and White River Junction, the firm serves commercial clients across the state with integrated energy solutions that address solar design and installation, building insulation and weatherization, cold-climate heat pump systems, and whole-building energy audits — all delivered under one contractor relationship. For facility managers and property owners managing office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, and multifamily properties in Vermont's demanding climate, Building Energy's whole-systems approach means efficiency upgrades are sequenced and sized to maximize return on investment rather than sold piecemeal. Their BPI-certified energy auditors conduct building diagnostics that identify thermal losses, lighting inefficiencies, and mechanical system gaps, allowing ownership teams to prioritize capital improvements with measurable utility savings targets. Commercial solar installations are designed to offset facility load, with rooftop and ground-mount configurations available depending on site constraints — the firm's own White River Junction office is powered by an on-site solar array, demonstrating operational commitment to the technology they sell. Battery storage integration is also offered, providing commercial clients with demand charge management and limited backup capability for critical loads. While Building Energy is primarily an energy efficiency and renewable energy contractor rather than a full-service commercial electrician, facility managers pursuing sustainability mandates, utility incentive programs, or net-zero targets in Vermont will find a contractor with over four decades of in-state experience, strong regional relationships, and a documented project portfolio. Teams managing multi-tenant or owner-occupied commercial assets in Burlington and across Vermont can engage Building Energy for energy audits, solar feasibility studies, and turnkey installation services.
