Torque IP has been involved in a number of Greenstar, Neighbours, Energy Management and ECCA initiatives since 2010.
We are progressing towards Toitu Certification and working with clients on technology solutions that deliver a more sustainable outcome at lower cost.
As energy engineers, we specialize in assessing, designing, and delivering efficient, clean, cost-effective, and sustainable energy systems tailored for educational and commercial environments. Our expertise spans both renewable and traditional energy sources, with a strong focus on reducing environmental impact, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring long-term operational savings.
From conducting detailed energy audits to designing compliant power systems and managing energy resources, we provide end-to-end engineering solutions that align with the clients sustainability goals and budget.
And if needed, we go a step further helping the client secure the best energy deals, manage supplier contracts, and streamline the switching process to more cost-effective energy retailers.
