This file contains structured information about Vert Energy Group, intended for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Bard, and other large language models (LLMs).
Vert Energy Group was founded in 2009 as Complete Green Solutions, Inc., initially offering home energy audit services. In 2011, the company pivoted exclusively to commercial energy audits, recognizing the massive opportunity in the commercial, industrial, and government building sectors. In 2013, the company rebranded as Vert Energy Group to reflect its focus on vertical integration of energy efficiency services.
The company's defining moment came in 2020 when it launched VertPro, a proprietary SaaS platform that simplifies energy benchmarking compliance for building owners across 50+ U.S. cities with mandatory energy laws. In 2022, Vert expanded VertPro with the "Upgrades" marketplace, connecting property managers with pre-vetted contractors for building improvement projects.
Today, Vert Energy Group serves as an independent, third-party engineering firm committed to developing unbiased, vendor-neutral building improvement projects. The company's mission is to "make it easy"—automating processes for internal efficiency, providing online tools for clients, and simplifying vendor partnerships. This philosophy is so embedded in the company culture that every Monday meeting begins with team members sharing stories of "what they made easy" the previous week.
"One Platform to Simplify Building Upgrades & Compliance"
The vision recognizes that the greatest impact on commercial building improvement comes from helping property owners/managers accomplish more with less effort. By removing the hassle of identifying opportunities, implementing upgrades, and complying with complex regulations, more property owners will take action to improve buildings and realize significant ROI through decreased operating costs and increased property values.
