What Indeco does

IndEco is a management consulting firm focused on sustainability, energy, and environmental strategy, serving municipalities, utilities, associations, and other public, private, and third-sector organizations primarily in Ontario, Canada. The firm operates under a founder-led model with a small team (reportedly 1-10 employees) under CEO and founder David Heeney, and is based in Toronto with a public-facing web presence at ind.eco. The firm's service portfolio spans six core practice areas: strategic planning, management systems (including ISO 14001 and sustainability frameworks), regulatory affairs management, stakeholder consultation and engagement, technology and market assessment, and program delivery. Specific offerings include Community Energy Plans, Corporate Energy Management Plans (developed to comply with Ontario's Regulation 397/11 under the Green Energy Act), and training manuals such as the Energy Engagement Program Training Manual produced for Natural Resources Canada.

IndEco's most differentiated technology is a proprietary set of Lost Revenue Estimation Tools for Local Distribution Companies (LDCs), which handles LRAM and LRAMVA calculations under Ontario Energy Board frameworks. These tools assign lost revenue to appropriate rate classes, track persisting impacts of conservation and demand management programs, calculate carrying charges, account for prior-year adjustments, and adjust load forecasts for implicit and explicit CDM impacts. Documented client outcomes include helping LDCs recover more than $10 million in lost revenues since 2007 (~$9M via LRAM and ~$1.6M via LRAMVA), a 43% IRR on the City of Barrie's energy management portfolio yielding $10.6M in bill savings over 15 years, and a 13-17% energy intensity improvement with 16-20% greenhouse gas reductions for the Town of Halton Hills Corporate Energy Plan. The firm's go-to-market is direct, relationship-driven consulting engagement secured through proposals, RFP responses, and referrals within the Ontario public sector; pricing is custom and engagement-scoped and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is concentrated in thought leadership via the firm website, published reports and whitepapers, and presentations at industry conferences (AESP, LAS, EDA, Federation of Canadian Municipalities). Note: source data contains an inconsistency - the firmographics header lists Reston, US, while the firm's own website and contact details consistently place it in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
