DEACS Energy, Water and Waste Reduction
On-Site Technical Assessments
Let the DEACS technical team help your organization improve efficiencies and cut costs all while improving environmental performance.
The DEACS technical team is available to collaborate with your organization with the intention to increase efficiency and cut costs while improving environmental performance through free non-regulatory energy, water, and waste assessments. Following data collection and/or a site visit, the team will research and utilize technical guidance from industry and partnering organizations on technologies and best management practices specific to your operation. A summary report will be provided to outline potential options for cost savings and environmental improvements.
The no-cost foundational assessments provide facilities with tailored technical information, analysis, recommended solutions, and/or industrial best practices. For more information contact Sarah Robison, sarah.robison@deq.nc.gov, or select the area of interest below.
