What Save Watts Co. does

Save Watts Co. is a Houston-based utility management and consulting firm founded in 2014 by Katie Anderson that delivers energy and water conservation programs to commercial real estate owners and municipalities in the United States. Its core offerings fall into two service lines: Property Improvement Programs, which include lighting retrofits, smart thermostat installation, weather stripping, and solar screens executed by in-house certified installation teams; and Consulting, which covers bill and contract analysis, savings analysis, RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System) implementation, sustainability reporting, and Fannie/Freddie Green compliance reporting. The technical backbone is a set of proprietary empirical formulas that quantify the water–energy–carbon nexus (for example, 0.0037 kWh of energy tied to one gallon of water across capture, treatment, and distribution), supporting compliance-grade reporting to investors, residents, and regulators.

The business generates revenue through one-time implementation fees for property improvements (paid in cash or financed, with Save Watts Co. carrying the financed balance) plus professional services fees for ongoing consulting, project management, and staff training. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to property needs. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with engagement originating through the company website, phone, and LinkedIn, and targeting both real estate professionals (owners, managers, investors) and municipalities. The company is part of a small affiliate group that includes Save Water Co. (water conservation) and Save Billing Co. (resident utility billing), forming a complementary ecosystem of conservation-focused brands. Save Watts Co. is privately held, founder-led, and operates with 11–50 employees, reporting cumulative outcomes of 100+ properties analyzed, 5,000+ units with conservation programs implemented, and 2,500+ properties under active service.
