2006
  • EnergyLogic logo Stacked

    Steve Byers, Wynne Maggi, & Robby Schwarz Create EnergyLogic

    EnergyLogic was created in 2006 when two energy services companies realized they could achieve more by working together than they could by competing.  Collectively, they shaped EnergyLogic into a thriving organization.  In 2019, after 13 fruitful years of partnership, Robby Schwarz set off on a new adventure.  Today, Wynne and Steve remain actively involved in day-to-day operations and visioning for EnergyLogic. Wynne is EnergyLogic’s President & Chief Culture Officer and Steve Byers is the CEO.

     

    In 2006, the founders were joined by Scott Doyle, Charles Stevens, Mark Jabaley, Jennifer Miller, Scott Peters, Andrew McGovern, Todd Snizek, Kathleen Henning*, John Montemayor, Byron Burns, Carissa Sawyer, Mark Eldredge, Fallon Shields, and Sean Enright.

    RESNET® Industry Innovation Award

    As a young rating company, we found ourselves overwhelmed by the wealth of data that accompanies energy ratings, not to mention all of the tracking needed to manage scheduling, billing, and other logistics.  We looked around for an industry specific tool, but nothing existed. So, we created DASHSM (then known as iRate).  Over 10 years later, DASH is still a continually evolving, essential part of our operations.  Today, over 20 rating companies trust DASH to run their rating business.
