“The highest ranking ESCOs are evolving their offerings with new smart building technologies and a larger and more on-going services presence,” says Tom Machinchick, principal research analyst with Navigant Research. “Additionally, these companies are acting on deeply insightful information, reducing project risk, and including a diverse array of project components that satisfy needs throughout an organization.”

ESCOs are realizing the growing value of digital intelligence as the volume of data coming from buildings is used to create new and unique sources of information that add value before, during, and after an EPC project, according to the report. The amount of data captured from existing and new projects has allowed ESCOs to develop sophisticated statistical models for determining project risk and return profiles, which help stakeholders understand building performance and end-use customer operational, maintenance, and comfort issues.

The report, Navigant Research Leaderboard: ESCOs, examines the strategy and execution of 14 leading ESCOs with the experience and capacity to provide a diverse level of performance contracting projects across a broad base of client market segments. These ESCOs are rated on 12 criteria: vision; go-to-market strategy; technology strategy; partners; client segment access; geographic reach; ESCO experience; breadth of ESCO offerings; project portfolio; sales and marketing; financing; and staying power. Using Navigant Research’s proprietary Leaderboard methodology, vendors are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing industry participants with an objective assessment of these companies’ relative strengths and weaknesses in the ESCO performance contracting market. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the Navigant Research website.
