CLEAResult Named to Inc. 500 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. Magazine named CLEAResult the 144th fastest-growing private company in the U.S. in its annual Inc. 500 issue, on newsstands today. The Austin-based energy optimization firm operates energy efficiency and renewable energy programs for utility companies, government organizations and private businesses across the country.

Rankings were based on revenue growth from 2007 to 2009, during which time the firm's revenues grew 1,860 percent. "Our growth has been fueled by three major factors: being able to work for an amazing group of clients, achieving measurable, sustainable results for those clients, and the exceptional group of talented team members in our company," said CLEAResult President Glenn Garland. "We're thrilled to be included on this prestigious list."

The company's growth is linked directly to the achievements of the energy efficiency programs it operates. Since 2006, CLEAResult's efforts have resulted in more than 500 million kilowatt hours of reduced energy use in schools, government buildings, commercial facilities and individual homes, equivalent to eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions of 70,000 cars, according to Environmental Protection Agency calculations.

"We've achieved these results by changing the way people think and act about energy use," said Garland. While its programs vary depending on clients' individual targets, CLEAResult first educates customers on how best to reduce energy use, then provides the support to activate and sustain programs for long-term energy optimization.

"There are many approaches to securing our energy future and combating climate change, and we certainly feel we've made significant strides," said Garland. "However, energy efficiency still represents the single greatest opportunity for reducing carbon emissions. Half a billion kilowatt hours sounds like a lot, but we believe it's just a good start."
