The Stone House Group

What The Stone House Group does

The Stone House Group is a privately held professional services and consulting firm founded in January 1999 and headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with a secondary office in Washington, D.C. The firm operates under a "Building Stewardship" framework, delivering four integrated core services — Energy Management, Facilities/Project Management, Building Commissioning, and Sustainability consulting — to institutional building owners. Its clientele is concentrated in education (150+ independent schools, 35+ higher education institutions including Princeton, Haverford, and Dickinson), healthcare (15+, including St. Luke's University Health Network), corporate real estate (140+, including Cabot Properties), community and recreation facilities (50+), nonprofits, and government entities, with a stated 500+ clients served and a geographic focus on the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast United States.

The firm's technical work centers on building systems engineering rather than proprietary software: retro-commissioning, LEED Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning, Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx), ASHRAE Level I/II/III energy audits, thermal imaging (using an owned thermal imaging camera), and Building Automation System (BAS) tuning. Capability rests on a credentialed workforce holding certifications such as CEM, CCP, LEED AP, BECxP, and PE, and on adherence to industry standards including ASHRAE, BCxA, PECI, SMACNA, NFPA, and NETA. Documented outcomes include a cited 15–30% average annual energy savings from the commissioning process, and the firm has overseen large capital scopes such as Gettysburg College's $200 million capital program and $2 million-plus in projects at National Presbyterian Church.

The business model is a sales-led, relationship-driven B2B consulting practice generating revenue through project-based and multi-year professional services engagements. Go-to-market is direct — principals and senior staff lead client relationships sourced through referrals, thought-leadership content (blog, NBOA Net Assets Magazine, Huffington Post, Fast Company), and industry conferences (NBOA, PASBO, ERAPPA, LeadingAge). Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed, determined per engagement by project scope, facility size (GSF), and service type, with no standard rate card. The company is a Certified B Corporation and remains founder-owned by Lawrence Eighmy, Darren Cassel, and Robert Butch, with no disclosed external funding, parent, or institutional investment.
