we envision a world that uses resources wisely. Our mission is to help society use energy and water more efficiently.  To that end, we have been running innovative programs and performing groundbreaking work in resource efficiency throughout North America since our inception in 1990. We pride ourselves on being independent, innovative, and rigorous in what we do—always keeping in mind the larger context—and successfully applying many decades of  collective engineering experience to a wide array of  industry challenges.

Our efforts over the years have reduced energy and water use at thousands of residences, businesses, and industries across the United States. From our headquarters near Seattle, Washington, and field offices in Oregon and Colorado, SBW’s talented engineers, managers, and analysts find ways for businesses and individuals to reduce utility costs and streamline operations. We also help utilities, agencies, and organizations provide top-notch efficiency programs.
