Macomb-OU INCubated EnerWatch adds 6 staff

Thursday, July 29, 2010

Metro Detroit's empty commercial buildings aren't a problem for EnerWatch. They are an opportunity.

The 3-year-old start-up specializes in making commercial buildings energy efficient through monitoring and killing energy hogs before they eat too much money. It uses a software program to measure energy usage and find other problem areas, such as water leaks or sub-par air quality.

"We saw there was a lot of energy waste in facilities, especially in new construction and vacant buildings," says Dominic Pizzo, president and CEO of EnerWatch.

The Macomb-OU INCubator-based company signed six large contracts last year, which allowed it to hire six people. It now has a staff of nine and expects to add another five over the next year. It is also looking for investment from angels or venture capital firms to help finance future growth.
