Firm focuses on “Smart + Green = Brilliant” Solutions
SEATTLE – March 7, 2006 – The Athena Institute has opened new headquarters in the Pacific Northwest. Athena is an analyst and consulting firm that focuses on energy sustainability. Athena concentrates on progressive and practical deployments of Smart + Green solutions that are Brilliant—cost effective, environmentally sound, and more secure and stable. Athena (www.AthenaCompany.com) was founded by Seattle native P.S. Reilly.
The new energy economy is characterized by price volatility, climate concerns, and tensions over the longer-term availability of energy and water. Advances in “Smart” (sensors, communication, control, and automation) and “Green” (sustainable design, advanced materials, resource approaches, energy efficiency) innovations can close the gap and strengthen core operations for business leaders, building owners, utilities, and communities.
“There is a set of emerging Smart + Green approaches that are truly brilliant—where you don’t have to sacrifice costs, environment, or security. The market is so inefficient, however, that even the best innovations and policies will take 10-20 years before they become standard,” says P.S. Reilly, CEO and president of Athena. “Athena focuses on solutions that can make a difference today, and it works to help both buyers and sellers benefit from getting those innovations deployed more quickly into the marketplace.”
Athena’s experts work with clients to help them pursue their best opportunities in the emerging Smart + Green sector. Athena’s research provides market projections for this high-growth sector and identifies innovations and policies that are helping to realize this potential. Athena’s events and Web tools bring together business leaders, innovators, utility leaders, policymakers, and more to generate commercial energy solutions around emerging approaches.
Athena is working with city, state, and federal governments to position the Northwest as the center of excellence in the emerging Smart+Green energy sector. For example, P.S. Reilly is advising the province of British Columbia to develop a vision to grow the sustainable energy sector in B.C. and Canada.
Executives in the company include President and CEO P.S. Reilly; Dr. William M. Smith, Managing Director of Utilities; Denise Mullen-Dalmer, Managing Director of Communities; and Gary Weiss, Managing Director of Athena Technologies.
