If you are a business or municipality wanting to cut operating costs by improving the energy efficiency of your operations, who you gonna call? There are a gazillion products and technologies that will do this or that, but it would take a lifetime to assess all the possibilities.
If you are in the United Kingdom, you are likely to call Eaga plc (LON: EAGA.L), the energy efficiency solutions company whose 11.23 percent share price increase led the EnergyBoom Clean 100 Index (E•B Clean 100) last week.
Most green sector stock market indicators, including all five EnergyBoom indices, trounced the broader markets in the United States and overseas this week. The best performance was turned in by the EnergyBoom Solar Subindex (E•B Solar) which increased 5.28 percent.
EnergyBoom’s E•B Efficiency subindex had the best performance in November among Energyboom’s five sector indices and also beat all broad market indices for the month. The E•B Efficiency slipped 0.13 percent for the month, narrowly beating the best-performing broad market index, the S&P 500 Index (-0.23 percent).
Buildings are the biggest energy hogs on the planet, accounting for about 40 percent of energy consumption. An army of companies from mom and pops to multinationals are selling and installing products to make existing buildings more efficient.
