Sectors
Proven Expertise. Local Commitment. Lasting Savings.
Now in our fifth decade, CMC is one of the most trusted utility energy efficiency program managers in the country – and for good reason.
We are one of the largest nationally certified woman-owned enterprises managing utility energy efficiency programs. Customer-focused, technically proficient, and ready to serve, our team members consistently deliver outstanding results for programs across all utility customer sectors.
Residential
CMC handles every aspect of a residential program – from initial program design to day-to-day management, reporting, customer marketing and outreach, energy auditing, energy efficiency measure installation, customer care, and QA/QC for both homeowners and renters. At the core, success in either space depends on understanding the customer’s needs, building trust, and delivering value.
Our team understands that energy efficiency services are not a one-size-fits-all process, and we adapt to best serve our utility partners’ customers.

Income-Eligible
More affordable energy for low-income households: this has been the goal and the heart of our mission since 1977.
Similar to our residential program management, our team can manage every aspect of an income-eligible energy efficiency program, but our approach goes beyond energy savings to focus on building trust, accessibility, and impact. Unlike market-rate customers, who often seek upgrades for comfort, return on investment, or sustainability, income-eligible customers may face additional barriers, such as health and safety issues, limited financial flexibility, and language or technology gaps.
Our team is trained to meet these challenges with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of available assistance programs, ensuring every customer receives meaningful, lasting improvements to their home and quality of life.

Multifamily
We specialize in servicing multifamily buildings and understand the unique challenges these properties present. Our BPI-certified team is trained to navigate the complexities of shared systems, varying unit conditions, and, most importantly, landlord-tenant split incentives. We recognize that achieving significant energy savings in multifamily housing requires striking a balance between the interests of property owners and residents. That’s why we take a collaborative approach—designing solutions that improve building performance, lower utility costs, and enhance comfort and livability for tenants, all while maximizing available incentives for property owners.
From whole-building assessments to unit-level upgrades, we deliver energy efficiency strategies tailored to the multifamily sector’s financial, structural, and regulatory realities.

Whether a retail shop, restaurant, or office space, we help identify cost-effective upgrades that reduce energy costs, enhance comfort for employees and customers, and contribute to long-term sustainability goals.

From identifying energy-saving opportunities through detailed facility audits to coordinating with trusted contractors and managing utility incentive pathways, we serve as a full-service partner.
Our team motivates customers to act by utilizing tools such as program logic models, customer journey maps, measure mix analysis, market segmentation, and customer and trade ally feedback to continually assess customer needs and improve KPIs.
