Who We Are

The RECON Group is a total energy efficiency provider and division of Livingston & Haven, a $70 million engineering services company based in Charlotte, N.C.

We are dedicated to helping manufacturers improve their efficiency and management of their energy use and consumption.  Our name, RECON, is derived from the phrase "Resource Efficiency and CONservation," and speaks to our focus on optimizing our clients’ manufacturing operations.

We can assist manufacturers of all kinds. Companies that have recently benefited from our capabilities include steel mills, automotive manufacturers, tire makers, paper mills and cement plants.

Unlike other providers, we are data driven and provide guaranteed savings by systematically identifying opportunities for efficiencies on the factory floor. We then develop and deploy custom solutions that reduce energy consumption by as much as 50 percent, while often increasing throughput at the same time. These benefits promise a quick return on investment and make companies more competitive.

“At the RECON Group, data drives everything we do.  Our emphasis on data and analysis is visible in our precise measurement-and-verification capabilities and allows us to guarantee savings from the changes we recommend.  Data collection is also critical to our engineering process, which allows us to design and install highly efficient power delivery solutions for our clients.”
