Energy Conservation Through Behavior Change^®

NORESCO’s Energy Conservation Through Behavior Change^® (ECTBC) program uses a proprietary, people-centered approach to energy efficiency that transforms behaviors. With over 25 years of experience, we deliver customized solutions that reduce energy use and support long-term sustainability.

"This collaboration helped us shift how schools approach sustainability. NORESCO didn’t just support the work, they built it around our goals and priorities, so it made sense for our schools. They helped connect the dots between building upgrades, classroom routines, and school culture. That’s what sustainability really is – not separate programs, but everything working together."

Changing behaviors to support energy efficiency

Developed by an industrial-organizational psychologist, Energy Conservation Through Behavior Change^® (ECTBC) is scientifically validated. We start with a Human Behavior Energy Audit^SM to evaluate energy-related behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge within an organization. Our specialists analyze the collected data to implement customized behavior change initiatives that actively engage stakeholders.

ECTBC is more than a set of guidelines—it is a comprehensive framework designed to integrate energy-saving practices into organizational culture. By leveraging psychological principles and data-driven insights, we identify inefficiencies and foster a proactive mindset that enhances efficiency. Our holistic approach ensures energy conservation is recognized as an ongoing commitment.
