We are a team of energy experts who are dedicated to helping organizations set, track, and meet their climate action goals.

Since 2014, Touchstone IQ (formerly Overlay Consulting) has partnered with entities of all sizes to reduce their carbon footprint, reach ambitious targets, and comply with new regulations.

Through this time, we’ve experienced how the rapidly changing energy landscape has created new demands. Shareholders and consumers are demanding more sustainable business practices, organizations are setting bold ESG targets, and governments are establishing aggressive benchmarking regulations and building performance standards. All of this drives the need for the building sector to access modern energy management solutions, but existing tools have not kept pace with the need.

Our experience with these outdated tools inspired us to develop the Touchstone IQ platform, an innovative, all-in-one energy management platform to better collect and track data, analyze insights, and implement action that help our clients meet their energy and climate action goals.

Our Team of Energy Experts

We are proud to have an experienced team of energy experts to build and support Touchstone IQ’s innovative tools. Our team is fully in-house — meaning we don’t outsource to third parties — so we deliver a streamlined experience supported by experts.

This team enables us to provide customized recommendations, identify new climate action solutions, and help you see and implement energy and cost-savings opportunities.
