Client Testimonials
Sandy Creek Central School District
“Ben Tashjian led a comprehensive retro-commissioning project for Sandy Creek Central School District that evaluated our entire HVAC and control systems. He performed extensive functional testing, identified more than 100 operational issues, and provided practical recommendations to improve performance. Beyond identifying problems, Ben helped us secure NYSERDA funding to do the retro-commissioning work as well as move forward with implementation. Work included a new control system that was funded without additional cost to the district's taxpayers. Ben's technical expertise, thoroughness, and ability to navigate funding programs makes him a valuable partner for any school district.”
- Andy Ridgeway, Director of Facilities III - Sandy Creek Central School District
The College of Saint Rose
“I had the opportunity to work with Ben Tashjian on energy projects at The College of Saint Rose and have been impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and ability to deliver practical results.
Ben led a campus-wide energy study that evaluated more than 90 buildings across our campus, helping us better understand building performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and prioritize future investments. He took the time to understand how our facilities actually operated and worked closely with me and my team throughout the process.
What sets Ben apart is his ability to explain complex technical issues in a clear and understandable way while keeping the focus on what matters most to facility owners: reliable operation, occupant comfort, and responsible stewardship of resources. His recommendations were thoughtful, data-driven, and focused on solutions that were both technically sound and financially responsible.
Ben helped us take advantage of available NYSERDA funding opportunities, making it easier to move important projects forward. Throughout our work together, he was responsive, easy to work with, and genuinely committed to helping us make informed decisions about our facilities and energy use.
I would gladly recommend Ben to any school, college, or organization looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy partner for energy and facility improvement projects.”
