SEF works with all types of commercial entities including small businesses, municipalities, school districts, non-profits, farmers, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and transportation companies to reduce the consumption of energy from  non sustainable sources. These reductions are achieved by reducing or removing financial and/or educational barriers that prevent these organizations from generating energy from renewable resources and implementing improvements in efficiency of energy utilization as well as reducing energy consumption through behavioral change.
