ECA was created to help businesses and homeowners save energy. We do energy surveys to find ways to improve energy efficiency and use energy monitoring, project management, and training to empower the customer to significantly reduce energy usage.
Our mission is to design and improve energy efficiency, solar hot water and photovoltaic systems in Hawaii and similar climates and to provide data and information to encourage use of alternative energy.
