Who We Are

3Q Innovation's programs are specifically designed to meet the research, education, and development requirements needed for job creation and new product | business growth in the clean energy | energy efficiency sectors for the built environment. They also bring awareness to the need for more creative employment solutions for an aging U.S. workforce. For a list of specific programs and services we provide, visit our What We Do section.

One of the most valuable knowledge assets of the U.S. economy is the worker pool aged 50-75. However, due to widespread cultural age discrimination and a lack of innovative employment contract opportunities, this group is routinely 'right-sized' out of traditional work environments once they approach age 50 - even though they are top performers who prefer to continue working. 3Q Innovation believes this knowledge asset drain out of the U.S. economy needs to be radically slowed or stopped completely. And that's why our organization chose experienced professionals as the primary constituency we serve.

40% of all energy consumed by the built environment is wasted and 80% of all built structures in the U.S. have no energy efficiency features whatsoever. With the prediction that a majority of the U.S. population (for the very first time) will be living/working in urban centers by 2030, the continued growth demand for energy is expected to increase to unsustainable proportions in less than 10 years. Among suggested solutions to address this looming crisis, simply capturing and saving energy currently wasted in the built environment, tops the list. Further, 3Q Innovation views its primary constituents as uniquely qualified for and positioned to help address these issues.

Every clean energy solution must address: 1) energy demands within the built environment; 2) the lack of energy expertise in the workforce; and 3) the need for deep business function knowledge (required to successfully implement clean energy solutions). 3Q Innovation's business development services creatively deal with the challenges of all three of these elements. And our primary constituents are ideally suited to help develop the clean-sustainable energy and energy efficiency solutions every building needs.  Visit our Business Development page for details about the specific R&D services we offer.
