Featured Built Environment Projects:
KERAMIDA is leading a large-scale energy audit initiative to help nonprofits across the Washington, D.C. region identify and implement meaningful energy savings. More than 30 subrecipients of a Department of Energy (DOE) grant are receiving comprehensive on-site energy audits, supported by detailed financial and technical analyses to determine their most cost-effective opportunities.
KERAMIDA conducted a round of week-long energy audits for the City of Evansville, Indiana. The on-site audits were conducted at 12 City buildings with the intention of identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption, improve operational efficiency, and lower utility costs across municipal buildings and infrastructure.
Wilson Sporting Goods Co., a leading sports equipment manufacturer, partnered with KERAMIDA to conduct waste audits at Wilson-owned U.S. facilities. The objective was to identify opportunities for waste reduction across material procurement, product manufacturing, and disposal processes. KERAMIDA performed comprehensive waste characterization studies at each site, using direct observation and data collection to assess current practices. Based on these findings, we developed tailored waste management action plans for each location. These plans included realistic waste diversion and reduction targets, actionable recommendations to improve existing waste handling practices, and strategies to increase employee engagement in sustainability efforts.
