Conservation Engineering - Clarity Conservation Engineering and its clients achieve their goals through energy efficiency and supportive government programs. We needn't sacrifice comfort or safety to save money. As Sherwood Boehlert put it in a Washington Post column (9/18/06): "Conservation means developing and deploying technologies (including deploying many that already exist) to enable Americans to live the way they want to while using less energy." Supportive government programs include state grants and federal tax incentives associated with the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
