history

On December 2, 2009, Wind, Water and Energy Conservation, LLC was formed by co-managers John E. “Gene” Overmyer and Lisa M. Yacso .  WWEC is a small energy services company, focusing specifically on niche markets, like small housing authorities and parochial and independent schools.

WWEC's Management History

Gene led a NYSE company, Tokheim Corporation, for many years and also served as their Chief Financing Officer. After retiring from Tokheim, Gene was invited by HUD to participate in their Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) program, and in 1992 he started Water & Energy Savings Corporation (W&ESCO). He led this family-owned energy services company (ESCO), which specialized in serving small and medium sized public housing authorities/commissions, for sixteen years. Lisa brought her knowledge and proficiency in administration to W&ESCO when she joined the team in 2005. Since then, she has led the team in seeking cutting-edge industry knowledge, best practices in PHA EPCs and Federal regulations.

In 2008, Gene, Lisa and the other company shareholders sold W&ESCO to Constellation Energy Projects & Services Group (CEPS). They completed a transition year there and retired in 2009.

WWEC's Management Accomplishments

  • Successfully implemented 45 projects for public housing authorities without a single claim on our guarantee.
  • Of those 45 energy performance contracting (EPCs), 10% were under 250 units, 20% were under 300 units and over 50% were less than 500 units.
  • No other ESCO specialized in the smaller jobs to the same extent that W&ESCO did.

WWEC’s future...

  • Though we are only in our first year, we have already acquired several clients.
  • We focus on working with smaller clients; we see this as an opportunity to serve those who devote their lives to helping others but lack resources to do so.

In short, though WWEC itself is young, our experience and depth in the energy services arena is unequaled. We are very excited and optimistic about the significant opportunities to help clients meet and exceed their conservation goals.
