The structure of TAC comprises three divisions: Energy Solutions, Systems Integration and Partner Sales.

Energy Solutions specializes in performance contracting, which offers clients – including educational facilities, cities, counties and hospitals – an efficient and effective means of improving buildings. We accomplish this by upgrading aging equipment, reducing maintenance expenses, lowering utility bills and improving building comfort – all backed by a no-risk guarantee. If a customer experiences a shortfall in savings, TAC will write a check for the difference. Accountability and guaranteed savings fuel the success of this division. Within the Energy Solutions division also exists the Abacus Consulting Engineering group, which offers mechanical and electrical design concepts to customers involved in new construction or renovation projects.

Notable projects include the city of Dallas, which received a new energy management system covering six city facilities; Virginia Community College System, a project that included implementation of building improvements on several campuses statewide; and Texas Woman’s University’s $19.3 million project, the largest performance contract in Texas to date.

Systems Integration provides turnkey solutions for new construction and retrofit projects, working directly with end users, property owners, facility managers, contractors and engineers. This division delivers efficient building solutions for HVAC, lighting, precision environments, and security and access control.

Systems Integration operates within two geographical segments in the Americas region. Major clients include Rockefeller Center, a customer for more than 20 years; Methodist Hospital and other medical facilities in Houston; and Merck, a giant in the pharmaceutical industry.

Partner Sales markets our products through an independent distribution channel comprising systems integrators and control specialists who install our systems in end users’ buildings. To qualify as a Partner, candidates meet specific criteria, including completion of a comprehensive training program, to ensure familiarization with our products and solutions.

Our Partners deliver solutions to a wide variety of end user customers, such as the University of Miami; the Owen Roberts International Airport, which serves the Cayman Islands; Raytheon, a world-class defense and aerospace systems supplier; and the Denver Art Museum, to name just a few.
