- Initiated inclusion of a free GHG report (carbon audit) with energy audits since 1995
- A company officer was conferred with the first Certified Energy Manager accreditation in Asia in 1998
- Commenced website publication of monthly degree day data from 1999
- Reached the first one million USD savings threshold for a single building in 1999. The building reduced emissions of 75,000 tonnes of CO2e in the process
- Adopted Australia Standard 3598:2000 for energy audits in 2000
- Developed Energy Management Scorecard (EMScore©) in 2002
- Completed installation of the first remote monitoring of real time electricity consumption for a client site in 2003
