Carbon Reduction Services:

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory Development

The first step in any journey is to understand where you are starting. This is precisely the goal of a GHG inventory. By quantifying the various sources of emissions, an inventory can guide future decarbonization activities. The Resource Synergy team includes professionals with the technical capabilities to perform both organizational and community–based inventories.

    Climate Action Planning

    This roadmap builds upon the GHG inventory to demonstrate a strategic path toward decarbonization. Resource Synergy’s process is designed to be both efficient and effective, ensuring that all major affected parties are engaged, and opportunities are prioritized based on the factors that are most important to our clients’ organization.

      Implementation Support

      Serving as an “owner’s representative”, Resource Synergy relieves burden from our clients’ organization as we solicit & analyze vendor bids, then manage the implementation of greenhouse gas reduction measures. We maintain a catalog of available funding opportunities and build a “capital stack”, often involving multiple funding mechanisms. We provide on-demand technical support for the development of grant applications, including budgeting, design, and narrative writing.


      Waste Reduction & Recycling Service Offerings:

Whether the site is an office building, medical facility, retail center, or entertainment venue, we’ve developed best practices that ensure that waste diversion is maximized and contamination is minimized.

      • Our shared savings and bundled billing models ensure that up-front costs are minimized (or eliminated) and savings are reaped throughout the program
