With rapid advancements and a continuous rate of change in the field, sustainability and energy professionals have a notoriously difficult time knowing what products to choose to help their companies increase energy, environmental, and sustainability performance. The Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards give companies a solid base of products, vetted by experts, from which to choose, as well as a variety of successful projects to illustrate how sustainability and energy management is helping companies improve.

"With a highly respected (and critical) judging panel and a strict set of judging criteria, entrants faced an extremely high bar for the level of product or project to qualify for an award," says Tim Hermes, publisher of Environmental Leader parent company, Business Sector Media. "Those who entered needed to bring their A-game to get even a sniff of award-nirvana. And they delivered."

“Winning this award for the third year in a row validates GridPoint’s continuous innovation in our solution,” says Deepak Budhiraja, Vice President of Product Management at GridPoint. “We take pride in helping our customers become more sustainable while achieving significant energy and operational savings. We believe that our new, all-inclusive, service oriented pricing structure will be transformational in the industry and will help new customers adopt energy efficiency measures at much lower risks and capital investments.”
