What Ecoreal Solutions does

ecoREAL Solutions (legal entity: Ecoreal, LLC) is a Portland, Oregon-based, 100% women-owned sustainability consultancy founded in 2009 by Summer Fowler. The firm provides LEED and WELL building certification consulting, ESG and GRESB reporting, Path to Net Zero planning, energy modeling, commissioning, and healthy materials tracking services to design and construction firms, government agencies, and property developers in the Pacific Northwest. Its proprietary technology platform, Green Canary Software, is a cloud-based LEED compliance and materials tracking system offering real-time material data sheet tracking, automatic VOC violation flagging, LEED credit monitoring, automatic material location checks within a 500-mile radius, vendor scorecards, and submittal log generation; Green Canary is sold both as a standalone product through its own digital platform and bundled within consulting engagements. The company has supplemented Green Canary with EcoSpex, a construction material quality assurance platform engineered by software architect James Hickman.

ecoREAL generates revenue through three streams: professional services consulting on sustainable design and construction projects (including LEED administration, eco-charrette facilitation, energy modeling, and commissioning), subscription/recurring licensing of Green Canary Software to construction firms, developers, and government agencies, and education and training services delivered in partnership with Mt. Hood Community College. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a consultative quote-based engagement model. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a community-led motion built around founder-led speaking engagements, LEED training courses, and webinars. Notable customers include Walmart (Home Office Campus, LEED Platinum), the City of Portland, Multnomah County, the Ritz-Carlton Portland, Howard S. Wright, Hoffman Construction, Williams and Dame Development, AC Marriott, Reynolds School District, and Virginia Garcia Health Center. The firm also co-founded Talentwell, a digital platform advancing MWBE participation in architecture, engineering, and professional technical fields.
