Bill Holmes
Owner

Bill has a B.S. and M.S. in mechanical engineering and has done additional coursework for his PhD with his research focused on how Industrial Plants can use Permanent Energy Monitoring to manage their energy costs like all of their other costs. He is a former Purdue professor and taught his methods for several years in the Continuing Education in Energy Management Program at the University of Wisconsin.
