eComponents Technology’s leadership in the field of energy management software can be traced back to the 1970s and the National Center for Appropriate Technology, where key employees of eComponents Technology performed early research into energy efficiency, energy monitoring and the application of information technology. In 1996, they formed a company to develop one of the first software systems for energy metering, monitoring and reporting. Today, eComponents Technology’s software is used by enterprises encompassing more than 100 million square feet of commercial and institutional space around the world, and the company’s energy and greenhouse gas tracking and reporting system has passed attest review by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

In addition to its long history in the energy industry, eComponents Technology is distinguished by its superior data quality control and exceptional customer service. Our international customer base has relied on us to maintain these core values for nearly 15 years.
