Here’s a striking fact you may not hear every day: *commercial buildings waste up to 20–30% of the energy they use each year — money literally drifting out the door.*¹ That’s not just inefficiency. That’s unrealized potential — and a powerful reason why energy optimization matters.

Why Partnerships Are IESG’s Energy Advantage

IESG doesn’t just consult — we collaborate. We bring together a curated network of best-in-class energy technology providers, engineers, and solution specialists to give clients access to real-world expertise tailored to their unique energy footprint. From insulation solutions to intelligent building systems, our partners make energy efficiency practical, measurable, and impactful.¹

Now adding TekWorx to our ranks means that our clients can unlock not just significant energy reductions — but substantial financial returns tied directly to real operational improvements.

Terry McTigue, President & CEO, Integrity Energy Services Group stated: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome TekWorx into the IESG partner network. Their expertise in chiller optimization and proven ability to secure significant energy incentives aligns perfectly with our mission — helping clients turn operational efficiency into measurable financial returns.”

TekWorx: A Game-Changer in Chiller Optimization

TekWorx specializes in chiller plant optimization — a smart, adaptive way of making your cooling systems work more efficiently, reliably, and cost-effectively.³ Chillers are often one of a facility’s largest energy draws, so even moderate efficiency improvements can have huge cost and environmental benefits.

TekWorx solutions like Xpress® optimize cooling performance in real time, cutting energy use and water consumption without disrupting daily operations.³ But what makes their approach even more valuable is their holistic support — including navigating utility incentives and rebates that many organizations overlook.

A Real-World Success Story: Turning Optimization Into Incentives

To illustrate the power of this partnership, let’s look at a compelling TekWorx case study — one that perfectly reflects the kind of results IESG clients can now expect.

Midwest Manufacturer Secures $169,800 in Utility Incentives

A major automotive supply facility in Illinois faced a common challenge: aging cooling systems that were draining energy and operating costs. The team wanted efficiency improvements but also recognized that available utility incentive programs could significantly reduce project costs — if they could navigate the complex rebate landscape.⁴

That’s where TekWorx’s expertise made all the difference.

• First, the facility implemented a chiller plant optimization solution with Xpress®, improving overall system efficiency and cutting energy use.⁴
• They then leveraged TekWatch® Navigator — TekWorx’s specialized incentive-navigation service — to capture every dollar their project qualified for within the utility programs.⁴
• The result? $169,800 in total utility incentives, including $157,800 for optimization measures and $12,000 for variable speed drives — *35% more than initial expectations.*⁴
• On top of that, the project reduced annual energy use by 1,315,000 kWh — surpassing projections — and shortened the payback period from 3.2 years to just **1.7 years.**⁴

Beyond the nearly $170,000 in direct rebates, the facility is projected to save over $1.4 million in energy costs over the next decade — a dramatic financial turnaround driven by smart optimization and expert guidance.⁴

Why This Matters for IESG Clients

What this story demonstrates is something we talk about all the time at IESG: true energy solutions go beyond technology — they include strategy, execution, and financial optimization.

By bringing TekWorx into the IESG partner ecosystem:

• Clients gain access to proven optimization technology that drives real energy performance improvements.
• They benefit from incentive and rebate expertise that maximizes the financial return of energy projects.
• Facilities achieve both operational efficiency and improved sustainability — lowering costs and environmental impact at the same time.

And that’s exactly the kind of outcome we strive for with every client we serve.¹

What This Means for Your Facility

Here’s how you can benefit:

• Lower Operating Costs: Through real-time optimization of chiller systems and cooling operations.³
• Improved ROI: With professional guidance to secure utility incentives that offset project costs.⁴
• Shorter Payback Periods: Meaning energy projects become smarter investments instead of long-term expenses.⁴
• Reduced Environmental Impact: More efficient systems mean less energy consumption, lower emissions, and stronger sustainability performance.⁴
