Ithaca, New York, March 15, 2024- EMPEQ, the leading innovator in energy and equipment auditing software technology, is honored to announce its inclusion in the esteemed SET100 List of 2024, a recognition bestowed by the German Energy Agency (dena) in collaboration with the World Energy Council. This accolade places EMPEQ at the forefront of the climate tech sector, showcasing its commitment to developing groundbreaking solutions that promote sustainability and operational efficiency.

The SET100 List is an annual compilation that highlights the top 100 most promising energy startups from around the globe.

EMPEQ’s selection among 430+ applicants from 75 countries is a testament to its unique approach and impactful solutions in transforming the way businesses interact with energy upgrades and equipment insights.

EMPEQ’s journey began with a vision shared by founders Herbert Dwyer, an expert in the energy and critical infrastructure sectors, and Derek LaClair, a financial and real estate specialist, to make significant strides in energy efficiency for buildings. With its AI-powered technology, EMPEQ has revolutionized the assessment and proposal processes for energy and equipment upgrades, enabling detailed insights through simple photographs and reducing the time and costs associated with traditional methods.

This inclusion in the SET100 is particularly significant as it represents a recognition of EMPEQ’s innovative contributions to the clean energy sector, amidst the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. The startup’s solutions not only enhance operational efficiency but also contribute to a sustainable, equitable, and resilient energy mix, aligning with the goals of the SET100 initiative.
