Since its inception in 2008, Calor Energy (pronounced Ca-lor, as in calorie, the most basic unit of heat) has striven to bridge the gap between identifying and implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Calor challenges traditional energy sources while building an infrastructure of “alternative” electricity through biomass, waste to energy, solar and Next Generation transportation fuels such as ethanol, compressed natural gas and biodiesel. Developing and managing projects to reduce consumption of natural resources, Calor excels at establishing creative financing methods to decrease the payback time that would normally keep such projects from happening.
We became a B Corp because we believe in fundamentally changing the way businesses operate . We conduct operations with full transparency and have sustainable environmental and purchasing policies in place to achieve profitable results while minimizing negative impacts.
Calor’s corporate missions are to deliver profitable solutions in a resource-limited world, build successful long-term client relationships and empower a healthy team environment. Calor achieves these goals through its value added service and in depth knowledge of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency tactics.
The Change We Seek®
Change the status quo of business operations:
By valuing every stage of the process, people involved and the products sold, Calor is able to provide the highest quality of service to clients. With focus on productivity, Calor is head-quartered in a green office complex; employees are encouraged to take rest breaks; stipends are paid for alternative transportation; healthy snacks are always available; and paid community service is a policy.
Change to improve the way electricity is generated:
Reuse the garbage stream of towns and cities through waste to energy technology that creates well-paying jobs, reduces pollution and toxic chemicals in the air, all while decreasing the amount of solid waste that would typically end up in a landfill.
Change to advance the way electricity is used:
Improve the quality, durability and efficiency of commercial and industrial buildings to make healthier employees, healthier businesses and a healthier planet.
