What 17 Ways actually does
17 Ways is a Cincinnati-based energy-efficiency consultancy, working with manufacturers, data centers, and government facilities to identify utility billing errors and power-factor correction opportunities that reduce energy costs. The company was founded in 2020 by Anne Chambers and Kristann Orton, building on an earlier concept for an “SDG marketplace” connecting purpose-driven businesses.
Where 17 Ways shows up
- Manufacturers: auditing utility bills and equipment for power-factor correction opportunities.
- Data centers: identifying energy-cost reductions in high-consumption facilities.
- Government facilities: extending the same audit approach to public-sector energy contracts.
Why this belongs on a sustainability directory
17 Ways’ SDG7 case is direct: reducing wasted energy and utility billing errors lowers a facility’s overall power draw, not just its bill. Its SDG13 case follows from the same audits, since less wasted power consumption means a smaller emissions footprint for every client it works with.
