Our take
Mass adoption of clean energy appears to be in motion, but it's difficult to produce enough renewable energy to go around. Much of this problem lies not in the energy production itself, but instead in the energy efficiency of the devices that we use in daily life.
Redaptive provides an 'efficiency-as-a-service' program that promises to manage energy efficiency upgrades for entire buildings to prepare businesses to be suitable for renewable energy. The startup achieves this through taking care of planning, design, material choosing, and efficiency metering, promising to drive cost-effectiveness throughout the process.
Most businesses are enthusiastic to make the switch to clean energy for the environmental benefit, cost-effectiveness, and benefit to their public image. Redaptive provides a means for businesses both small and large to achieve this through complex planning assistance that would be hard to achieve and afford otherwise.
