Project Coordinator

A Different Kind of Company

Energy Circle is the marketing and communications pioneer at the forefront of the built environment transition. For over 15 years, we’ve been on a mission to accelerate the transformation of homes and buildings towards reduced carbon, renewable generation, greater energy efficiency, health and comfort. We are proud to be a Certified B Corp. Our unique expertise is in growth support and lead generation for high performance contractors committed to a building science approach as well as manufacturers launching cutting edge building products. We also serve nonprofits and associations on the front lines of solving the climate change impact of buildings.
