Our Story
How we became a leader in energy optimization and system integration.
Energy IQ was created by industry innovators. In 2010, CEO Karl Zimmerman sold his previous business, Intercon Systems, to EnergyIQ, bringing his many years of experience in design, energy management, and building control technologies. EnergyIQ is now a leader in system integration for building automation, energy optimization, microgrid solutions, and smart infrastructures.
In 2017, the U.S. Navy engaged Energy IQ for renewable power asset integrations. The company was recognized for outstanding performance at the 2018 Niagara Summit, held in New Orleans, for the development and control of an industrial-grade microgrid test bed.
