We also manage the production and distribution of chilled water and steam for Georgetown University. The team also provides consultative, professional engineering support to the University.
Our Mission
We Build and Maintain Excellence. Our mission is to provide safe, reliable, and resilient energy and utility services to the Georgetown community, with a commitment to sustainability and customer service.
We take pride in fostering an agile team culture that values effective, efficient, and innovative solutions.
We strive to honor our Jesuit heritage by taking an ethical and professional approach to our work and dedicating ourselves to continuous improvement.
Sustainability in Practice
Energy and sustainability are rapidly growing and changing industries. Buildings are the District of Columbia’s largest emitters, making building energy efficiency a critical part of the Climate Ready DC Plan. Building Performance Standards are set nationwide. Like all other building owners in the district, Georgetown University must comply with the district’s requirements. Our department focuses on offsetting 100% of Georgetown’s electrical usage by leading initiatives to bring green power to the university through renewable energy plants.
