¹ In 2023, Albireo delivered over 5,000 projects with one or more sustainable services. For services that improve energy efficiency, Albireo Energy calculated the estimated energy cost-savings for each project. The cost-savings were calculated based on industry studies on return-on-investment for building efficiency upgrades, studies and reports on implemented technologies, and Albireo Energy’s experience as an energy services provider. Each service was estimated to provide varying cost-savings, which were calculated as a percentage of the gross revenue assumed to deliver direct impact. This methodology and actual calculations were reviewed by a third-party expert in environmental impact calculations. Our environmental impact calculations are preliminary, unaudited, and subject to revision.
