When Businesses Usually Call Us

Make It Happen
We help with contractors, incentive paperwork and a yearly progress check.
Start With Easy Wins
Lighting, heating and cooling settings, air leaks and equipment left running overnight are usually where the first savings hide. These changes are often modest in cost and quick to pay back.
We rank every recommendation by what it costs, what it should save and how long it takes to pay for itself, so you can start where it makes the most sense.
- Lighting
- Controls
- Equipment
- Envelope
Get Your Baseline In Weeks
If a customer, bid or lender needs your energy or emissions figures, tell us the deadline and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
Less Waste, Smaller Bills
Most businesses pay to haul away material that could be recycled or avoided altogether. We review what you throw out, how it's sorted and what you're charged for it.
Then we help you set up simple sorting your team will actually use, and right-size your hauling service.
- ✓Waste walk-through and audit
- ✓Sorting setup and signs
- ✓Hauling contract review
What Clients Say
We'd talked about going greener for years and never knew where to start. Callowmere measured our energy use, ranked the upgrades by payback, and helped us find the incentives. The lighting project paid for itself faster than we expected.
A big customer asked for our emissions numbers. Callowmere built the baseline and wrote it up clearly, and we answered in three weeks instead of panicking.
No lectures, no greenwashing — just a practical list of what to change and what it would save. Our waste bill dropped once the recycling setup was fixed.
Questions We Hear Often
Will this cost more than it saves?
We rank every recommendation by payback, so you can start with the steps that pay for themselves. Some clients only ever do those, and that's fine.
Can you certify our business as green or carbon neutral?
No. We measure, advise and help you report honestly. Formal certifications come from independent bodies, and we'll explain the options if you want one.
Do you help with incentives and rebates?
Yes. We help you find utility and public programs you may qualify for and prepare the paperwork. Availability and amounts change, so we check them for your project.
Do you work outside Portland?
Yes. We work across Oregon and SW Washington, with site visits where they help and remote work for the rest.
Do you sell equipment or take commissions?
No. We're paid by you, not by equipment sellers or contractors, so our recommendations are about what fits your business.
